We have been slacking on posting but not on getting things done. I have been on multiple practice flights. Kludge(Kult) has constructed a button which will be used to deactivate the magnet and drop the bombs. We have created a prototype for the SIMP(Small Indian Man Powered) Launcher. Below is a video demostrating the SIMP Launcher. The main difference will be the missing magnet which will be used to release the bombs instead of the current manual release. Kludge has also been working on a Super Secret Project (SSP) which is undergoing regorious testing in his back yard. All I can say for now is that involves matches and chemistry. I added slide show of pictures and will contine to add important pictures and we continue to make progress.
May 2nd
The weekend of May 2nd Kludge and Creamy (sounds like a nasty Ben and Jerry's ice cream) will be visiting for Phase 1 Testing. We are going to rent the airplane and fly to small grass strip where the testing will take place. Here we will be able to remove the baggage door and test the SIMP Launcher with it actually in the aircraft. Other priorities will be error compensation, practice runs with B3C2 software, in cockpit drills with SIMP Launcher, and other mission planning tasks.
Other stuff
Please email at cookedan@gmail.com if you any bowling balls. We want to get the bowling balls as early as possible so we can adjust their weights if need be. We have to group them in threes of equal weights because we will be dropping three at a time. If we can't get three equal weights we will just drill holes in the heavier ones until they match the weight of lighter ones.
Right now we are planning on using the same location but we are open to other locations, so if you can recommend one email as well.
