Crazy Jim's Gone Banana's
It's Tuesday here I arrived last night [Oz time] and already Nic is Raw-hiding me. Just like being at Tim's!!!!
Today started slow, I was hoping a Punisher Kit was waiting for me, but no.....so I started building one from scratch.
Cut a 3 in tube, cut 3 fins from 1/8 plate. Cut CR's on Nic's laser cutter.This guy has EVERY tool needed to build both tubes , NC's rockets from total scratch. He's the current N5800 record holder.
I did bring my NC and electronics with me}. Just about 1 minute from the slotting session., the post truck shows up with my kit.... Wildman personally delivered it....Thanks Tim!
so now what to do? I got parts for 2 Punishers.... Hey Nic,wanna fly a 75 minimum D Punisher? Yeeeeeeeeuuuuup!
Now it's 10 PM and we have already completely finished the minimum fin can and fillets. NC & av-bay built.
Standard Punisher fin can has been injected, sitting in curing oven {which is really slick ...made with a hairdryer and thermostat...stupid simple!]
So when done we will be flying 2 Punisher in the Crazy Jim Down Under Drag race, which Homer Hickman will be giving the final 10 count.Pretty Kewl huh?
The PunishOZ will be flying a 4 grain M-C*[ what ever the heck it is] so we will be trying to melt one of Tim's new 3in CTI cone LOL.:y:
I will stuff the 6xl 54mm K 815 sparky in my Punisher.
By tomorrow noon., both will be finished and ready to fly! 2 Punishers built in less than 24hrs.!!
So Nic's shop/garage has been officially christened as Crazy Jim's rocket shop down unda!
He the first guy I ever met who can build stuff as fast/faster than Tim & I! Shown me a couple of really neat tricks to boot.
AND keep my mug full of rum all day long!:wink:
More on all this and pics a bit later I need to get some sleep...up at 5-6 tomorrow to finish all this, Oh did I mention building the tower for 6in rockets also, finish his 4in .O-3400 minimum shot and another 3in min.:smile:
Paint 2 rockets.....all by tomorrow night. because Wed is pack the truck, trailer and car with all this crap and 2 motor cycles to find rockets when we get there! Plus the 10 in RAPTOR flying on a Gorilla 6in Blue motor.
DiD I mention the Full Scale V-2 that will be flying also!!!??
This is the 6xl CTI I'll be sticking in the Punisher....just enough room left to get the NC/av-bay on...LOL
