Can yu say........***BOOMDEGASER ALERT!!!! 4/15/05***

Take pics of reinforced frame rail boltings.......

 

Get online, locate used 13B turbo engine, check credit-card line, drool heavily......

 

Go to H Depot....AGAIN.......buy new 10" saw blade, measure for beveled longitudinals forward of cockpit......

 

(after much delay....)

Glue two new beveled longitudinal runners to midline aft fuselage.

 

Took new pics to EAA 43 meeting(that's the local Experimental Aircraft group out at Erie Airport)and an artist in the group(who does work for NASA, the EAA, and is on the Rolls-Royce team)has basically begged me to let him paint the........well, yu know. I'm thinkin' Leia in her gold bikini with a blaster in each hand, firing away........FLOL!

 

Engage in major brain-stormin' session with fellow EEA member about making the beasty, ummmm, computer-controlled.....FLOL!

 

Get parts list together for making the quarter-scale soaring model for testing.......

 

Umm, when will you be testing this & where. I will be sure to be in the basement. FLOL

 

In Argentina!

 

Well...I just loaded landing springs on the static model and flew it across the living room, bouncing it off the carpet nicely several times. On my weekend, I'll cut out the foam fuselage, and by next week, I'll have the wings ready for molding....then it's out to the slopes for a little stability checkin'......oops.....gettin' ahead of myself. FLOL!

 

He's like a real life mad scientist.....go Tim!!

 

The scary part is that the project has been collecting other mad scientists in it's fervor.....FLOL!

 

Now that's cool!! Do you guys wear lab coats & stuff?

 

Yea....& I'm gonna put "Incom SkunkWorks" on the garage!

 

You should get ahold of "monster garage", see if they can help too!!

You get a chest of free tools.

 

don't encourage him to get us all killed... just messin with you kit

 

Go to HD, buy length of prime Poplar, layout curves on ends, attach to vise, sand....sand...sand....and sand some more.............take break.

 

Spend all day clearing out the garage so I can figure out what needs to be done next....FLOL!

 

Go to HD, buy another length of Poplar, spend Sunday with soarer pilots(SH ones at that; GEEZ can these guys fly a bird!!!!!), get a lot of encouragement and sound aero advice from said pilots, & finally, get length of foam from HD, several mailer tubes form USPS & carve out 1/4 scale hull for testing.........

 

Hone second symmetrical wing half from the Poplar, mate/glue both halves together, clamp and let set overnight, begin carving up foam block to make fuselage........

 

Clean up glued wing halves, realize foam fuselage block was glued with wrong glue, scrap that, try to find better foam and correct glue.........*DOH!!!!*

 

After regluing fuselage core back together, continue cutting out form, start looking for molding materials for wings.......

 

We are starting to figure out what your doing, you need to come up w/ code words

We are cleaning out our garage for hilt making, Jeff is making new workbenches & everything.

 

Gotta get a live feed in there......so's we can watch the latheworks.....FLOL!





SANDING, SANDING, SANDING, raw frame......FLOL!

Hey Tim, when you're done with that one, can we make an E-Wing? I'll bring the paint and put FreiTek Inc. on the garage door...
