Steve’s rocket “Bad Behavior” flying on a AMW Pro-X H123 Skidmark motor reached a blistering altitude of 1537 feet. This flight also gave him the September’s high-flyer of the month honors. Congratulations Steve! This photo of Steve was taken at LDRS. He successfully armed all the electronics for Big Yeller’s flight. This position is affectionately called “tower monkey”.
