Took the Rocket out to test the Truetrak autopilot and flew with some
friends up to Napa, Ca yesterday.
One was driving a Baron and the other a Cheyenne.
Nice big rare steak at Jonsey's for lunch and time for departure.

The Baron departed first on 18R.
The Cheyenne was cleared 18R position and hold.
We were cleared 18L position and hold.
The Cheyenne was released on 18R.
We were released 18L

Shortly afterward, 

(Napa Tower), "Cheyenne NXYZ, Caution departing Experimental on parallel
runway"

(Cheyenne NXYZ), "Napa Tower, Experimental no factor, as he has accelerated
past us already" 

We also had about 2,000' on him.

Something tells me the Cheyenne driver isn't telling this story this
morning.....



Thanks John Harmon!

   I'm drilling holes and mounting ribs to my main spars.  The radio is 
playing.  The sun beams innocently into my garage.  The Diet Coke is 
cool.  But the work does go slowly and it has been quite awhile since 
the Rocket Fly In at Bakersfield.  It's not the boredom, I like to build 
things -- it just takes awhile to get a Rocket to the point were you sit 
in it, imagine and make noises. 
   Then, out of the blue, almost as an answer, a real life story appears 
about a Rocket.  The holes are going faster now.  They look better.  The 
wings will be done more quickly.  A fuselage and an engine mounted will 
soon follow, more quickly than before.  Paint will find its way to the 
proper places more evenly and designs only before contemplated will 
become reality.  Noises will emanate, and soon, there will more 
victims.  Thanks.   JBB
