Doug, Most excellant to read you’re planning on attending MHM. Not to hijack this thead but I’m pretty sure Ed and I would like to loft the Saturn V again from your awesome pad.

I’m pretty sure Ed and I would like to loft the Saturn V again from your awesome pad.

I don’t know, the pad will likely have be too far away from the flight line like last time.

Oh really – we’ll make proper arrangements. Film at eleven. Thanks.

Ok, so I’ll be at Scott’s shop/hanger in Longmont at 10 am tomorrow. We’ll be mostly glassing tubes. I’ll be there all day so come when you can and I’ll probably order pizza at some point. Feel free to bring drinks/snacks/etc. Glassing is messy .. dress accordingly.

Thanks, Steve

Doesn’t appear that I’ll be able to make it today. An old friend passed away last week and there is a memorial service at 1 so I’ll be tied up.

Awesome start to the project today. Rich Wallner and Kevin Osler came up and we got all 6 boosters and 3 main sections glassed with 7.5 oz cloth. Came out nice.

Thanks Guys!! You did great!

Rich, Me, Scott Evans, Kevin

I need some more motor mount tubes, 54mm and 76mm .. anyone got any they want to sell/donate? I’d like to get them for this weekend if possible.

Thanks! Steve

What length? Heavy paper or glass? How many? I will look and see.

I know there is a launch this weekend but I’ll be working on the Proton again this Sat. More glassing and hopefully working on the motor mount assemblies. We have a grill and with have burgers or dogs for lunch.

Let me know if are coming ..

Thanks, Steve
