Not Exactly Rocket Science: May 2015
http://wallyum.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Not Exactly Rocket Science. Sunday, May 3, 2015. And what do I know about this? Not much other than if I'm going to do it, it's going to be with something that no one else will do it with. Yep, an Estes Rascal on an A8-3. Nope, I didn't come anywhere close to the spot. I know what you're thinking. "What's with the crappy pic, Bill? Did you bring the wrong camera again? I distinctly remember plugging the card in the other day and thinking "Don't forget this on Saturday." Heavy, HEAVY sigh. The E9 had deto...

Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Building the (scratch) Micro Fat Boy (part 1). August 15, 2015. Let’s press on to the next one! In late 2013/early 2014 I bought two Mega Mosquito kits during Estes sales. I built one Mega Mosquito and one Mosquito, because they give you the parts for both in one kit. The other Mega Mo I intend to kitbash into a Fat Boy clone. And the other Mosquito… well, symmetry suggests making it a Fat Boy too, right? A 1/5x downscale Micro Fat Boy. Then launch lug, fillets, Kevlar to m...

Rocketry goals review for Jul 2015 | Rich's Rockets
https://richsrockets.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/rocketry-goals-review-for-jul-2015
Born-Late Rocketeer Tells All. Rocketry goals review for Jul 2015. August 6, 2015. This has been a month. Fly an I motor. Not yet, but I’ve bought one, and the hardware. Put an entry (however pathetic) into at least four club launch contests and four club launch themes. Completed the Rose-a-Roc for the August contest. Worked on the D-Region Tomahawk for the September theme/contest. Built a saucer which is mildly odd for the August theme, not that I don’t already have odd-rocs to fly. Adhere to a budget.

Not Exactly Rocket Science: August 2015
http://wallyum.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Not Exactly Rocket Science. Monday, August 24, 2015. B6-4 Field: Back in action. Flight #1 of 14 on the day would be the Estes Battle Damage X-Wing that I attempted to fly here the last time the field surfaced. This time I wasn't as lucky with the clarity, but I still got the picture that pretty much tells the story of the flight. Got more altitude this time. Won't be a next time. I didn't get the satisfaction of seeing it nose into the hard packed infield as the whole flight took place over the ...The A...

Not Exactly Rocket Science: April 2015
http://wallyum.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Not Exactly Rocket Science. Saturday, April 25, 2015. An hour to kill. Yeah, that's just sad. Ten years off meant nothing to this bird. The A8-3 flight topped was dead straight in the light breeze, topping out around the 200' mark. Recovery, however, still needs to be worked on. The shock cord tangled on the fins, but the chute brought the whole assembly down safely. It just wasn't pretty. I flew the Quest Apollo the last time I was out, but made the mistake of flying it on an A8-3 for a woefully underpo...

Not Exactly Rocket Science: Annnnd, I'm back....
http://wallyum.blogspot.com/2015/08/annnnd-im-back.html
Not Exactly Rocket Science. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Annnnd, I'm back. I was hoping that 2015 would be different than the previous disappointing flying season, and I was pretty pumped about how it started. Then May hit. I had one good day, then the graduation parties started, or the rain submerged things, or I had to drive my daughter's car to California. By August, I was hurting. Yeah, maybe next time. It was missing the engine hook, so I taped in a D12-3, which is the only suggested motor. Several c...
