He was very focused on getting the thing to work, and I recognized that my own lack of focus was probably where the bulk of my personal gremlins came from when it came to gliders. Then I saw something shiny and lost the thought. A couple of years back Bruce had been doing some work on the Estes Geo Sat LV and I'd taken some pictures of details on my eBay rescue kit for him. Only now I realize that you were his test mule for the parts he made with his 3D printer.
I think I'll build a Hummingbird.


I remember that day! We were there together. I also remember it was a HOT day. I remember our trip/drive down. If memory serves....we went to E-Rockets after the launch to get some goodies (he did). Yes he loved that hummingbird glider...it also frustrated him a bit.

He also made me a Geo-Sat "kit". It is one of my most precious rockets. I will try and post a photo of it. He was so happy that I made something that he made the parts for!

Good times.
Andrew
