  1. VOLOGDA, Russia -- A woman looking on as her aviation-nut husband assembled a model rocket in a field was killed when the makeshift spacecraft veered off course and hit her squarely in the head, authorities said yesterday.

    :D :D :D

  4. My hobbies? Playing guitar in a local hard rock band...and chasing the beautiful women here in Paris...and reading (currently reading Keith Richards autobiography).

    I also design website (not that great looking yet).

    I have both horizontal stabilizers ready for paint and primer.
    Vertical stabilizer is next, I already have the ribs done.

    I'm building a full scale mock up of the duct transition between the area behind the engine and the fan. To make sure what I'm picturing in my head matches reality.

    I'm struggling with primary fuel injector leaks due to poor sealing with the fuel rail on the engine.

    The stabs came in heavier than I wanted (30 lbs each) so instead of a laminated wood wing spar I'm going to revert to my original plan of using carbon rods. I've done the sizing for the spar caps.

    Good luck beating the p/w ratio of a normal aircraft engine with that 20b. Lots of failure modes when coolant and psru are added.

    I'm not using a psru.

    Even with all accesories my P/W ratio will be 0.90. You know of an aircraft engine that turns at 6500 rpm with that kind of P/W ratio?

    I am not aware of any propeller with usable efficiency that can take 300 hp at 6k rpm. If you're planning a ducted fan, lolz.
