CGN Members Certify at Tripoli WA's Inaugural Launch

What a weekend it was for Tripoli Western Australia's Inaugural Launch and what a weekend it was too for a couple of CGN members who managed successful Level 1 Certification launches.

Flying his Aerotech HV Arcas on a H165R, kwhopper saw his bird ascend to about 2000' where his motor ejection deployed the bright yellow chute for its descent to terra firma.

Result: Level 1 sheet signed off... Grins all round

A sexy man deserves a sexy rocket and when it comes to sexy rockets, well, the GLR Talon 2 is what naturally comes to mind.

Sporting a H165R, FBD's 2-Pac Pearl White finished Talon soared unflinchingly vertical to about 1900' where it spewed forth its laundry and lazily made its Sunday afternoon descent back towards earth to land about 200' from the pad.

Making some wierd pelvic jerking motions, FBD came out with "Yeah... Alright little doggy."

Also getting his Tripoli Level 1 Cert was MH with his AMRAAM2 on a H73J. Just because he ain't CGN doesn't mean we can't give him kudos for his successful flight.

As usual, the engine he chose was a black one and by gum, don't we love him for it.

It went up, up, up... up. Popped. and came down, down, down to land gently on the hill. Sweet. L1 signed off.
