Listers
This past weekend, for me, defined why I fly a rocket. Les Featherston
hosted a flyin at his strip, Rebel's Bluff, and it provided me with a
perfect weekend of flying. Rebel's Bluff, MO, is 700nm from our farm in
Canada and the rocket made it possible to do this in 3.7 hours of flight.
There is something about gliding over the landscape at 9500 feet and 200
knots that lightens the heart.
Les, and his wife Linda, were the perfect hosts. Their property is
beautiful, the curved runway a delight, and their neighbours came out in
full force to welcome visitors. This is a property that is a only a dream
for most plane owners and I highly recommend that you put this place on your
map and attend next years flyin. I would like to note, however, that there
needs to be more than one rocket next year! Well done Les and Linda.

Hi Guys and Gals, Please consider coming to a Fly-In this Saturday and
Sunday at Rebel's Bluff Airport. N37 06.1 and W93 52.2. It is two miles
north of Mt. Vernon, MISSOURI, Airport (2MO). I'd like to have this be
the
largest fly-in of RV's and Rockets outside of Osh, S n Fun, and Van's
Homecoming. The lunch will be a Memphis Style Bar-B-Que sandwich from "Hawg
Wild" Bar-B-Que. That alone is worth the trip, and free for the pilot.
We'll have some special demo flights, and a presentation at 2:00 PM. If you
can stay overnight, the local motel is offering $50/couple or two to a room.
Camp on the airstrip if you like. Dinner will be a "cook it yersef"
charcoal steaks, chicken etc. With baked potato and salad. And lot's of
"good flying lying". I'll whip up a breakfast guaranteed to get you at
least
halfway home. I have had a great response with airplanes coming from
Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Albuquerque, and all points in between. Looks
like the weather will be super all over the Midwest with clear skies here
and
temps around 70F. Ya'll come and experience some "good olde Ozarks"
hospitality. Send e-mail or call for more infomation.
lwfeatherston@aol.com, morocketman@aol.com, or 417-466-4663. YOUR RSVP
WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, Thanks, Les Featherston
Could someone be sure this shows up on the Matronics RV list.

SNIP
Could some one tell me the thickness of the temporary blocks that sit on top of
the spar to support the back of the tank spar while attaching the skin . I believe
the measurement is 3/4 of one inch!
SNIP
Blocks? You don't need no stinkin' blocks. The tank spar (called the rear baffle,
IIRC, on the plans) can wiggle around a bit if you're not careful. The easy
way to keep it in perfect position is to pop rivet it to the spar flange in
a few places. Then install the skin. Drill out the pop rivets later when deburring
everything. I've got good pics of the process on my wing page.

The plumbing term is a "cock hole cover" and available at any plumbing
supply store. I know it's not the Politicaly Correct term but it's what they
were called. We used the standard 1 1/2" size. Went to our local NAPA Auto
parts and got a "truck tire extention" it's the same size as the valve caps
that we got at the same place and about 3" long. We cut out a "donut" out of
.040 scrap 1/2 wide that matched the "plug" and rivited it to the inner side
of the pant. We also use a paint stick to mark the tire thats exposed at the
botton of the pant when the hole and the stem are lined up. A little yellow
mark an inch long at the bottom most part of the tire/rim. A nut driver that
fits the cap and the extention is now part of our traveling tool bag.
