Severe storms the night before the launch kept many from coming out in June.
But those who did make it were treated to top notch weather and some great rocket action.
Temps in the 70's, winds light to medium.
One of TRIPOLI Pittsburgh top motor makers and rocket flyers, John Haught came out to hide at the back of his tent (above) and fly some of his rockets.
Flyers: 20
Flights: 58

TR Garman hams it up with his 3D printed project rocket the Alpha One. The Alpha flew on an H-219 (above) and the fins have not ripped off yet.
Design work is being completed to convert the Alpha into a dual deploy system and will be flown on bigger motors at an upcoming launch. So check back soon.....
