Hello Everyone:
Well it's obviously winter now! Sure glad we didn't
have a launch scheduled for this past weekend. :)
If we can't fly 'em this time of year, we can sure
build 'em. So to continue our Armageddon project, I would like to schedule
another build session for Sunday, December 17th, beginning about 10:00 AM and
concluding no later than 3:00 PM. Jeff Chaplin has again agreed to host us at
his house in Broken Arrow.
Our primary objective will be to build the motor
mount unit for the Armageddon. We have some great 1/2" thick balsa-core
Norbond, donated by Doug Harrison, that we will be using to make custom
centering rings. We also have a full-length 98mm motor tube, donated by Mike
Doyle, so we're all set on materials. We just need some elbow
grease.
In addition, we'll also begin sanding the airframe
tubes we fiberglassed last time, so be sure to bring your sandpaper and dust
masks.
