Gary's Hot Rockets has a ring to it. :wink:
Gary's a nice guy and all.. but I hope he doesn't "model" the rockets like the previous owner.
High heals and a short skirt just isn't my style
I think that before the end (?) of this thread, we deserve to see a picture of your Starbucks bench setup. Bonus points for curious onlookers.
That's not a bad idea you guys. Smart and on target. I'll see what I can do in the next few visits. Today at Star Bucks, I removed the remainder of the stringers on the engine shroud where those air dams go and taped the areas off to prevent primer and paint from adhering. The areas for the four umbilical connectors and drain/fill vent have also been covered with tape for the same purpose. The two systems tunnels need to be rounded on the first stage and I need to build one for the second stage. Then finish filling in the tube spirals and I should be ready for the first coat of primer on the lower section.
What's the story behind the "air dams"? I remember you asking what they were for on the real Sat5 but I think I missed the explanation you found.
If you are referring to the one with a major anomaly (Blew Up) that was a problem with an O-Ring Seal. I don't know of any other event causing failure related mishap.
Most excellent. I didn't realize you had the whole airframe with you there; you're providing quite a nice show for the folks there.
Looking good, Steven. I'm glad you've found a way to make regular progress.
