Take Off Dolly
Decided to design a dolly for takeoffs, very similar to the ME163 rocket plane. The dolly will also double as a display stand.
Plan for this weekend is a few short engine run tests, to time fuel burn. Once I know a particular amount of fuel burns time wise, will plan a flight that can get to altitude, engine quits when out of fuel and glide back down.
If it survives that, Testing is done! Probably never fly it again. Just did this to see if it was possible to install a jet engine in a paper airplane.
BTW-One thing I'll be testing in a few minutes is a product called "No-Burn". Created to protect wood and paper from igniting. Sprayed some on a scrap piece of cardstock with ink on it to test if it would smear the ink, and to see if it warped the cardstock. Both areas are fine, didn't smear the ink or change the color. Sat for 48-hours to see if it warped at all, it didn't!
Tonight is the propane burn test!
