Glad to see you have the Drifter flying again. A great looking design—even with the faded paint. Nice launch thread.

Well, maybe the Bungles had an early lose, but I was looking at similar conditions for flying with the Browns having a 4:30 Kickoff. I am glad I deferred to the game and still can enjoy your launch reports. I can only say (about the Browns) that I think they have finally found the secret to winning (sit Weeden down except in emergency. which BTW I am wondering why the Browns didn't try out their new third string QB instead of Weeden Wobbles and then falls down when Campbell got shaken up). Anyways, this way I can enjoy your launch reports and the game at the same time.
Thanks Bill.

Good stuff once again. Too bad about the Skywriter, save the nosecone and clone a Maverick.
Someone once posted a comment refering to the paint scheme of the D.A.R.T. as "clown vomit". Now I can't help but think of that every time I see a D.A.R.T.

No, they ignored the request. It seems they felt they would be inundated with similar requests if they honored that one.

I do recall over the years them having some very good teams only to be outdone by rivals in their division. It didn't help that some of their best years were in the old AFC Central when Pittsburgh was winning 4 Superbowls in 6 seasons. Anyway, there's always hope. The Red Sox finally shook off their 86-year jinx and now they've won 3 World Series in 10 seasons. So keep cheering for the Browns. They'll get there one of these days. Doug .

In this case I wasn't too bummed about the CATO. It woke me up and the rocket was one I just built Friday night be cause all the pieces turned up. Funnily enough, I picked up a couple of Sky Writers to clone the Black Brant and Maverick. The Black Brant is done except for paint and Saturday night I printed out the fin pattern for the Maverick.

I did a post-mortem on the Sky Writer tonight, cutting from the top of the tube down to the coupler, then from the coupler to the motor mount. Everything inside is as I expected it to be, completely charred. The tube just in front of the coupler is burned away so completely that all that is left is the yellow paper covering. The sticker decal is blistered. There is a plug of Kevlar, elastic, dog barf and the engine block at this point. Everything is fused into a tight ball. The centering ring/engine block, sewing elastic and Kevlar just crumble to the touch. The only recycling being done here will be done in a landfill.
The lower section is more of the same. The motor tube is charred through 3/4 of its diameter. I found the motor hook just before I left the field on Sunday. The top of the hook was almost straightened out. At least I was able to recover everything, and the nose cone and fin can are reusable. Gotta be a bright side, eh?
