Still Image

This flight was so much fun.  It's much different making your own little engine.  I have been experimenting for a couple months with straws, tiny tubes etc.  I've had misfires, duds, spewings, lame-o-s and huge booms.  I have even had a visit from the police.

The other morning I woke up at 3:30am.  I could see the inside of the engine burning, exhaust channeling through the nozzle... I saw it - surface area... jet stream... flow...

What a wonderful thing.

I love the mistakes... the correction... the next trial... the wondering... the pondering... try again... yes!... no!... how about this? hmmmm... yes! no! Do it again!
