Tim Scott’s Phoenix - K550W

I would have brought back more photos, but my camera battery turned four this month and decided that it didn’t like to hold a charge any more. Thanks to Ken Brown for letting me borrow a pack on Saturday, but unfortunately I got in exactly one picture on Sunday before mine bit the dust — hard. Regardless, here’s a few pictures of the action, biased towards my own flights (two Mojave Greens and the venerable Arcas lighting a red motor). There’s also pics of a L3 shot, Greg Lyzenga’s Thumper painted to look like a carrot, and Tim Scott’s all-carbon Butt Ugly Phoenix on a K550W, with the appropriate flame-to-rocket ratio.

Vacuum Bagging

Friday, December 28th, 2007

I added text on Vacuum Bagging to the Composite Layups post. It’s a bit tedious without pictures; hopefully I can get a few tomorrow or the next day to help out a bit. Go tear it apart and let me know what needs to be added!
