We had our Challenger 498 club launch today at Rushing Park near Katy, TX. I was going
to try the long awaited second launch attempt of my PDRocketry's Gemini Titan - 3, but
the wind direction & speed put a stop to any launch attempts (at least from this person).
We had a number of others flying today (bravely, I should say), including John Thro, who's
very active in this forum.
In addition to the GT-3, I was also going to give my vintage Centuri Mercury Redstone its
second launch attempt, and the very first for the Centuri 1/100 Saturn - V! Since you guys
(and gals) know how "priceless" these models are, you can understand why I decided the
no/go. We'll be planning another club launch at Rushing Park in a couple of weeks.
Below is a pic I took of these three models on my dining room table after returning home;
all the models are fully prep and ready to fly...
