Well, it's been a 19 month rest. We should all have recovered (no pun intended) by now. Embarassed

Okay, so...

What's with this "resurrection" stuff?

Last I recall, it flew at LDRS in Vegas, and it flew just fine.

Funny you should ask. I was going to post this to help bring folks up to speed.

For those not familiar with the first project, Screw You Hippie, (And since the first build thread is dead), here's a video done by Discovery Channel Canada more or less explaining everything:

And sorry Ladies, Charlie's taken.

Today's build thread update is brought to you by:



And the letter "P", because it makes me smile inside.

We started our day by watching Joe inhale a little tacklin' fuel- A Bacon and Grape Jelly sandwich:



As we're discussing the day's game plan, we started discussing names. "Screw You Hippie 2" was tossed out, but since we have some new team members we figured something new was needed.

So there we were, telling old war stories and getting ready for the day's events when I started reliving a wild night of heavy drinking in T.J. and the after effects of such an affair. That's when it hit me, and "It burns when I P" was born.

The project begins in Broseph's newly minted Rocket Shop of the Apocalypse by first laying out the new airframe tube the fins will be mounted to:



Hello old friends!:



Don't look now, but it's an UDO!

Charlie folds and marks his g-string:



And wraps it around the tube. These will serve as alignment marks for the fin slots to come later:



Meanwhile, Joe lets one rip:

We used a piece of angle iron to draw the lines:



And extend them up where the fins will be:

n00b shows how tard-core he is by showing his cool tats. Man, I wish I were born with tats.. Of course I could always get one by joining the Navy.

Charlie's checking the spacing for the width of the fins:



Because the fins are a little thicker than the base, we used the square to get an accurate mark for the proper spacing needed to make the fin slots. This should technically prevent us from having to sand and file that tube to get an accurate fit for the fins. However, we'll likely screw it up. After all, we're not exactly rocket scientists:



Heh, Charlie's a tracer:
(Warning: link isn't kid friendly. You've been warned.)
