Super diffucult rocketry project...not many have sucessfully accomplished...

[RWmarlow]

No, no, no....
His pigeon tube is shot, caused by ultravascular lamentations resultant from Willy Wonka transpositions. But sometimes all you can do is give that woodchuck a tuna melt.

a quick search for pigeon tube gave me this and this...(which violates the safety code)....and then there are the pigeon reloads

 

[blackbrandt]

I have decided to fly A Semroc Triton on Quest C6-5 and (Here is what is the hard part) recover it sucessfully

Wow...
You think that will be hard to recover?

Try flying a Semroc Goblin on an F240...
OR says Mach...
200+G's on liftoff
over 2000 foot altitude.

Layne,

I see your meds have worn off again. Nice to see your thinking clearer again. Shouldn't you be procrastinating on a level 2 build? Lets get a move on. Whip those Llamas into shape. How many Llamas does it take to power the secret lab treadmill? Sheep may be more feed efficient though, plus they don't spit.



Adrian (who believes lamb tastes better than Llama)

Yes, I have started my L2 and have made quite a mess so far.
Besides, all the sheep have been taken up by Scotsmen.....
But a gentleman prefers Llamas.

AACCK! What are they doing tho that poor pigeon in the las pic??

There are several versions of several things like the Turbo-encabulator. One deals with a Rockwell version, a new type of transmission. The really outrageous thing about this is the guy doing it is an absolute expert at doing adlib, and this was one of those times when it was caught on film. He is incredible at keeping a straight face. Why Johnny Carson or Red Skelton could not have done it. I would recommend for a serious laugh, look up Johnny Carson and Jack Webb doing the Copper Clapper Caper; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FNBuO6eDYc; or Tim Conway and Harvey Korman in the dentist office; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9T8i4FkNVo. Absolutely hilarious!

OMG- I couldn't stop laffing! That is some funny sh*t! This is classic. If you've never had to sit thru a mechanics training film-you really can't grasp what a perfect rip this is. I'm gonna watch this about a hundred more times so I too, can repair my own encabulator. Bonus? No billable hours!

While trying to turn a cone out of cardboard I found these charts and I think the second chart will give radiality to the obutate part of the cone assembly

Thank you Barracuda....

Thats right on the money! This is the trans we had in our old car, the burping was quite annoying, my wife would always fuss at me and accuse me of bad manners, she just would not belive me when I told her it was the sigmoyd rumbling under the belt line, she just wouldn't buy it and told me I was BS'in her. Then get really mad and say, "don't talk to me like I'm stupid! Boy I can't wait to show her this...make her eat those words.

Many a time I've had to remind my wife that the synchronizer relay between the catalytic converter and the sigmoyd outlet was stripped and what she smelled was hydrogen sulfide byproducts from the rumbling. I'm sure at least once it was the dog, too.......

those hard to find Reliant's are a good choice to run from the militaryand they are rated to this impulse

Hated them. Though they were an improvement over the Mavericks. Why couldn't they have just given us CJs like the Air Force?

ok i found a wassle intake I think i can trim it down to fit with a cinderblock View attachment 114910

Doooood!!!! Those look like they would fit on my CX-500!! I needz em!

oh.. and did your kit come with a 'spurious flange' coz i can't find it in mine.

Clean that wassle with some 3-in-1 oil and get some 30 weight ballbearings, it's all ballbearings nowdays. Then tighten the spitzer valve with the fratness wrench and be sure to check the headlight fluid!

 

[RWmarlow]

ok here is a concept or two...Thanks to team Banzai 1. 2.

 

[BEAR]

You cannot fool me! I saw the movie about the great hero, Buckaroo Banzai, and his adventures across the 8th dimension, I recognize the pictures. (I have it on betamax (yeah betamax, before VHS, before Laser-disk, and definitely before DVD. Blu-Ray, and the cloud) and I watch it weekly. That's how come I am so smart!) You cannot fool me in the first picture, either. Those are look alikes of John Wayne, Sophia Loren, and Rosanno Brazzi doing "Legend of the Lost" in the Sahara desert. But I know it is a fake, because the saguaro cactus in the back ground only grows in the Chihauhaun desert in southern Arizona. Though you had me didn't you? HA! I don't buy just any C**P.

 

[TALON]

I can't believe that no one on this thread has addressed the problem of inertia coupling. One way I have found to fix this problem is to switch the exhaust nozzle to a constant speed nozzle in leu of a fixed pitch nozzle. However the seals of the constant speed nozzle wear out very quickly! That is why I always have some condoms in my range box. They work great as an in field solution to replace the seal. Now which brand of condom works best to reduce the amount of peppergigs leakage is for another topic.

 

[BEAR]

But,If you are not careful, your helicopter recovery will fall of of the sky. What are you going to do about that?

Wouldn't reversing the pitch of a constant speed nozzle solve this problem? I must admit I have never tried it because of possible excessive peppergig loss!

 

[BEAR]

I have to be completely honest and state that I have never thought of that! That is a really remarkable idea! Congratulations for coming up with such a novel concept. But then again, would this not keep the inertia moments of the stabulators too short so that the end result is a rapid, unstable rotation around the centers of axis and pressure?

Yes, I didn't think of that! But you are a senior member, and I am a new Bee. But WHAT IF you could divert the peppergig leakage thru the TURBO ENCABULATOR? But I think this would only work during high tide.

Your missing something important. The phase of the moon.

Maybe we can control the phase with this do-hickey

 

[TALON]

No, I thought about that, but how much difference would a full moon, half moon 1/4 moon make? Unless it was a BLUE MOON. But then I would just use a Blue Thunder Motor, as long as it did not affect the LAMINAR FLOW. Again I am a BAR & just getting into MPR, so I am not that experienced.

What does this use for a power supply and how does it affect the sub-atomic perambulators when in phase before lift-off?
