Saturday Build

The Tandem got a new camera mount and housing and Sky Pup’s parachute’s mounting plate was almost completed. Paul put the finishing touches on Tandem’s second balloon launch bag then started in on patchwork and repair on the high rack balloon launch bag. After seventeen launches this year is was getting a little frayed.

We assembled two more high rack frames and lastly we began mounting the live video system on Tandem.

It was a solid ‘crossing things off the list’ day.

    Steady plodding brings success.

    Is this just shop work, or is Tandem being prepared for a mission?
