Re: Man Riding Homemade Rocket Killed
Believe me, it goes through my mind constantly. What is even worse is many components are installed, removed, installed, fitted, removed, painted, installed etc. At the end of the project there is a very regimented inspection program by the governing body (In ontario MDRA) to get a flight airworthiness certificate. That being said, I totally agree with you. You can't pop your belt and hop off into a cloud to make an adjustment when the aileron flutter is so bad your molars are shaking out of your head and you loose a control surface. Generally, flight control loss is a very very small percentage of incidents. Most commonly is fuel starvation, lack of airspeed and... well you know what comes next. I would re-consider you and your buds dreams bro. This project is one of the most satisfying and rewarding things I have done. It may be overwhelming when you start but just treat it like one job at a time and take your time. I am almost ready and plan on flight testing late this summer. IN the world of homebuilt aircraft that means probably summer of 2035! The last 10 percent is 90 percent of the work! Good luck! Feel free to inbox me if you have any questions at all about homebuilt aircraft. |

If he wasn't so bad at calculations, he wouldn't be a flat earther in the first place ^^

Re: Man Riding Homemade Rocket Killed
The guy was a stuntman who happened to believe the earth is flat, which it is btw. He didn't do this to see if the world is flat, he did it because that's what he likes doing, nobody in flat earth thinks you're going to prove anything by launching a homemade rocket.
