Well you asked for pics, and a little over four years later you got 'em!! After a long break from the hobby I started up again, built a few kits and finally made my way to the Michigan Team1 club launch on Saturday. It was a bit windy out but I had to send this thing up on it's first flight. Aerotech LMS G78-7G Green Mohave motor. Nice straight flight, chute deployed right at apogee and recovered minus a bit of decal which was pealing anyway here and there but otherwise you would never even know I flew it. I'm sure this could handle the 38mm motors no problem, but this flight was just high enough for me. I think now that I could safely fly this with a slightly smaller motor in my local field if the wind was minimal.
A TRA member at the launch (Jeff) was kind enough to send me these pics he took of the launch.
