I want to reiterate what John has said. Jet stream or no, we must make every effort to keep our birds within the waiver cylinder (3m radius w/high alt windows) and to absolutely not end up on private land. IF…   Read more»

Duct tape… gift of the gods.

I’m still waiting to get my battery charger back after loaning it to Ed to charge the range boxes 2 years ago. (Little Husky unit). Have any idea where it is?

The main thing would be to get the battery boxes charges up.

Nutserts rock! On the other hand, if you only build minimum diameter, you don’t have to worry about it.

Well Bear, it’s not my permit or I would ask you along. We’re expecting based on CBRFC forecasts that things will be in the 30,000 – 60,000 cfs range. Most stuff will be washed out, but the 4 major rapids…   Read more»

OK Bear… instant river invite. After things calm down a bit (this is a major high water year – like 300% of normal in the Colorado/Green basin), I’d be proud to have you come along on an upper Colorado trip….   Read more»

Back when I played with heat cured epoxies, I build an oven out of 2″ foil faced foam from Home Depot – polyisocyanurate. The over was 7′ long and 2′ square with a rotisserie inside, two 4″ computer muffin fans…   Read more»

Chris, as always you are right – or at least righter than I am in the explanation. It is related to the combination of airframe diameter, fin root chord length and semi-span. I still haven’t found the email with the…   Read more»

Chris, I’m far from knowledgeable about this. I had the question myself a number of years ago and so I asked the venerable Henry Spencer (do a Wiki search on him if you’ve never heard of him…) I can probably…   Read more»

Make no mistake, this bird is the shit! Best fillets I’ve ever seen anyone bring me for a layup. (by the way, aerodynamically, 10% of semi-span is a minimum. 20% is closer to ideal in terms of resolving interference drag…   Read more»

Turned out VERY nice Scott. How many coats of epoxy?

Sorry you missed an awesome launch. A tad breezy at times, but gorgeous warm day and everything was coming down north of the pads. The NAR contest folks were out in force, my grandkids and their new friend Ambrose had…   Read more»

I’ll dig around and see what I can find. Answer is likely I have one and it’ll be with me.

By the way Ed, I have dibs on my normal Saturday AM slot from 8AM until noon as LCO. I might even take the noon to 2PM slot as well depending on the crowd – I don’t have a thing…   Read more»

Oh geez, don’t tell me we had another fire

I’m there for LCO duty… have some grandkids with me flying Alphas.Warren

Lets see, I remember him turning 18… Is Art 21 yet? I dunno if he can get served at a liquor store to buy us all beer. Ah well, he can bring me a Mountain Dew instead.

Oh yeah, I remember you! Aren’t you the guy who got distracted from rocketry by a girl? I can vaguely remember your words of wisdom that rockets are “cheaper than a girl”. I guess you found out huh?

Yeah, I could help out with that possibly. I can certainly provide my 5″ L3 project for display and almost certainly hang out for a few hours to gab with folks and represent NCR. My grandkids would come, they’d love…   Read more»
