Hello Everyone:
We will hold an Armageddon build session this coming
Sunday afternoon in Doug Harrison's shop at Harvey Young Airport. We will begin
about 1:00 PM and conclude no later than 5:00 PM.
For those who may not be familiar with that area,
Harvey Young Airport is located in the square mile bordered by 129th E. Ave on
the west, 145th E. Ave on the east, 11th street on the north and 21st street on
the south. The best way to get there is to drive across 11th street and turn
south on 135th E. Ave. Drive south for a few blocks until you come to the
airport entrance. Continue south, turn right at the first row of hangars and
look for Doug's white Toyota pickup or my Jeep. You're there.
We will be setting up a 10 x 20-foot portable carport
inside Doug's shop, in order to give us a work space that we can heat
efficiently. We will also be setting up two 4 x 8 foot work tables on loan from
Russell Moore. Thanks Russell ! Additionally, Doug has given us permission to
temporarily house the trailer in his shop, so I will be bringing the trailer
from Leonard on Sunday. That will also give us an opportunity to inspect the
launch equipment and make any repairs necessary to begin the flying
season.
For the Armageddon, we will be creating the fin
template and begin cutting fins out of Norbond. We'll also be doing some
sanding on the airframe tubes. Please bring as many tools as you can. Since
this will be our first session at the new shop, there's no telling what we will
"need" once we get started.
