That is awesome!!! Too bad it has to be painted to fly at Argonia
Here's your fin can.
Mike you are well-known for putting out quality work and this is no exception!
Like others have said that is a work of art. Very impressive.
Guys I can't tell you enough how easy it is to work with Mike. And he obviously puts out top-notch stuff.
Another hit from Binder Design!

"Too bad it has to be painted to fly at Argonia"
Really? Might I ask what the reason is behind this???
Nice glad to see a piece Dave and I helped with become real. It ain’t gonna flutter.

What mach will it get to?
This beast is bolted down and the hydraulics are up and running. I need to get the tower and rail mounted, build the supports to carry the vehicle and this girl will be about wrapped up.
Now that is starting to look like a mobile rocket-launch pad!
Coming together nicely!

Chuck,
FOUR things to consider about the trailer, in use.
( 1 ) How will it "behave" as the rocket is raised into position for launch ( The CG will constantly be shifting aft on the trailer ) ?
( 2 ) Will the jacks be able to adequately support and stabilize it, when fully loaded ?
( 3 ) When traveling, what will the Tongue Weight be on the trailer hitch, BOTH loaded and unloaded ?
( 4 ) Depending on how the weight is distributed, how will the loaded trailer handle, at highway speeds, BOTH loaded and unloaded ?

Wide jack pads integrated on the jacks or separate will be needed for setting up on soft ground such as a plowed field.
Fortunately Levi knows exactly what he's doing.
And through many years of various mistakes hauling trailers I've got the battle scars of wisdom lol.
Biggest mistake (of many) was hauling a heavy tractor behind a Ford Expedition. Things were good at 50 mph but I got cocky and went to 55 mph. Yep... the Death Wobble. Got lucky and recovered but for about 10 seconds there thought for sure my sorry rear was going into the weeds upside down.
Lesson learned.
Hauling this trailer will be done with all those scars in mind. Mainly because doing something stupid with an expensive (and time-consuming!) rocket is not in the plans.
Thanks!
