Hey Darrell I am loading up the truck for todays Hpr Launch we fly other stuff also so I will have lots of photos and video. It may take me a day or two I am usually drained after a day at the launch pad Temp here are 96 98 plus and humid.I told my group that when I win the Mega lottery we will have a air conditioned launch facility with our own Mc Donalds. any hobby shop on site.You would never run out of enginesand I would have the whole 200 square miles lighted so we could fly at night. I get kind a crazy on launch day.
