Cool eRockets build night

So, one of those left-handed gifts from the gods occurred this week and I have to work late today to cover for my boss. That means a) I got to sleep past 4:30 this morning, and b) I didn't have to be in bed by 8:30 last night. To be honest, I was pretty pumped about both a & b, but b afforded me the opportunity to attend the build session at eRockets, so that gets the nod. Two solid hours of rocket talk and, more importantly, rocket work. I finished a new D.O.M. Orbital Transport Laboratory to replace the one that hit a car and got run over last spring. It should be flightworthy by Saturday, which is the next scheduled WSR launch. I also picked up an Estes Freefall and scavenged the fin can for my MX Missile clone, which should also be ready for Saturday. Now I have to think of something to do with the body tube and nose cone for the Freefall. That likely won't fly on Saturday. I cut out the pieces for a new AMROCS Wombat, but only got minimal gluing done on that. It still might fly on Saturday. Finally I installed the cluster mount on the Stickershock Der Vader Max, did that fill & finish thing we do AND located the decal set. Gonna have to push hard, but I think I can get it flightworthy by Saturday. If you should find yourself in Dayton on a Tuesday night, I can heartily recommend a stop at eRockets for a couple of hours of intense rocket therapy. Even better, get to Dayton in the morning, tour Museum of Flight at Wright-Patt, which is a scant few miles up the road. Good times. Noodle salad.
