Gang:
I counted 26 peoples. 
Have no idea how many airplanes.
At the moment, I am on coffee break. Shot the last Pontiac Red
Aerothane on the center section parts and gear legs. Now I have to
wait for tomorrow to get them moved in a very, very safe location
until they cure a bit and I can get them riveted together. This is
the time the BRS 1050 soft pack goes in the front of the center
section under a sheet of frangible haircell plastic. I use silicone
seal to seal the plastic to the sheet metal, then pop rivet it in
place. It will remain here until 2013 or sooner if needed. Using
this system for the ballistic recovery system has a lot of advantages:
1-completely inside the airframe, even the rocket. I lowered it 5
inches to get it under the plastic.
2-out of the weather which stretches the softpack life to 6 years.
The rocket is good for 12 years.
What were the other advantages? I forgot.
Tomorrow or Thursday James Tripp is coming up to help me sit the
engine on the airframe. When I get all the hoses, wires, cables,
etc., installed, I'll then start on the lexan. When the lexan is
finished, the gear legs go back on the airframe, the airframe is
hauled to Gantt IAP for wing attachment, final preflight and test
flight.
Think I can get all that done before time to go to Lakeland?
Probably. This is a usual time line. Get it ready to fly the day
before time to load it up and haul ass for Sun and Fun. hehehe
Take care,
john h

John,
Please be sure to post some pictures of your work on the BRS and its
concealment method. It's something I hope to be doing not to far down the
road.
Do not archive
Thanks,
John Cooley

Hi John C:
Will do.
Should be putting it together in a couple days. Want to let the
aerothane cure a bit before I start doing some serious handling.
