![]() Nice Flight Report, as always, Bill !
That supposed "Honest John" however is FAR too ugly to ever deserve a motor again ! Unless....You GLUE IT IN along with gluing in the nose cone, giving it an "El Destructo"/Explodor flight profile. A SU Aerotech 18mm D21 would do a great job for that. High-Altitude Destructive DITCH-O-MATIC !
__________________
When in doubt, WHACK the GAS and DITCH the brake !!! Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't ! Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY. ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, AGITATION, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, AGGRAVATION, INSTIGATION, NUISANCE-ACTION, and HAVOC ! |

I didn't. US 27 did. I was impressed with the people swerving so they didn't hit it. I'm loaded with draggy stuff, but I'm dealing with a backlog of never flown and not flown for years birds that I'm trying to work through. Ironically, the BB III was last flown here last year. It was an impulse fly. ![]()

Of all the ugly rockets I’ve seen, your Honest John is/was the best! (That may not have sounded like a compliment … ) ![]()
