Final Prep on the Playa

Erik and his 10” Bullpup at RocketMavericks, just before the successful Level 3 Cert flight. We’re looking forward to the LUNAR launch this Saturday.

I was reminded of this wonderful launch by the Canadian TV segment that just came out.

Erik is around minute 1:45 and my black-winged L3 Bird makes a cameo appearance at 0:47 and 1:52. I am hoping to launch it on Saturday on a red M1550 motor and with a new video bay.

Erik – this comment is from a Dallas denizen, with a name that is best read backwards…

As a hint, think of the ELO circa 1981…. I read this in the the Nov 15 Economist:

"The humming streets of the Estonian capital, now dotted with skyscrapers and clogged with large western cars, epitomise a return to prosperity and freedom that on that cold December afternoon in 1981 would have seemed as unimaginably miraculous as Atlantis re-emerging from the waves."
