TIMPA Open House

On November 11, 1996 the Tucson International Modelplex Park Association (TIMPA) held a public Open House as part of their site dedication. Since we were working on establishing a rocket range on their site, we were invited to provide a demonstration of the types of rockets that we would eventually be flying there. We flew in cooperation with the R/C aircraft flyers, wowing the public with several HPR models as well as a wide range of model rockets.

One of the most memorable was Ed Bertschy's large X-7 sport scale model, flying on an H123.

We got another chance to interact with the public and generally show off our stuff.

Steve Casillas also had a nice HPR flight on an H.

TIMPA had a good crowd in attendance, and their site is well developed with a paved runway and permanent ramada to keep cool under during the summer!
