They had a engine fail just after takeoff and also looks like another had lost thrust. I think every company who has tried to get their first orbital class rocket off the ground has had this type of failure. The one thing they took as being great was their thrust vertoring worked very well when the thrust was asymetric. Gilmore seemed pretty happy that at least it got off the pad

I think Mike they need to be more forward in the airstream. Like they are they will act like a vacumm sucker and possibly draw fuel out there will be no positive pressure going into the tank.

Yes well there were a few aircraft that seemed to get "special treatment" but then they had to have the crackdown and that is certainly not allowed any more

Group G does not require a LAME if you build it yourself. The same as Experimental in GA But MOSAIC updates the LSA category in the USA which seemed to be a bit more restrictive in the USA except LSA in the USA you could fly in CTA if you had done the rating.

Class 5 is not recognised by RAAus or even basic med is not recognised either. Only the drivers licence medical. The stall speed comes up which will allow more aircraft and NOT weight like we are limited to 600kg even though the aircraft can weigh much more. Under the current RAAus rules you cant fly a 720kg rated aircraft in the 600kg sport pilot category. This why my RANS S-21 has to go in group G or experimental in GA. Under Mosaic rules the RANS will be fine..a Cherokee or similar will be fine and you can fly it with a drivers licence medical. There are quite a few differences with MOSAIC

It maybe that the USB charger is toasted..they are not high quality if your paying 30 bucks..the aviation ones though are outrageous its like they just charge you 3 times what its worth because its avaiavtion. I should look at building a decent suppressed one. TI have a lot of chips for these now and also lots of application notes to use. I am sure there will be high quality ones

As much as I have to say this buy a genuine cable..they are outrageously priced I know but they work. I was always having trouble with apple car play with generic leads...I bit the bullet aND BOUGHT THE GENUINE APPLE ONE AND THE PHONE CHARGES FAST AND APPLE CARPLAY WORKS ALMOST EVERY TIME...IT DOESNT WORK I BELIVE DUE TO THE HEAD UNIT IN THE TRITON..oops sorry for the caps wasnt watching while typing

I have a Galaxy GRS-600 they are all pretty much the same. I imported it myself direct from the factory. I hope to do the same with the chute that will go into the RANS S-21 but its a bigger chute and of course more expensive. The importing though is a whole new world of hurt but I found out after just by mistake how these parachute guys get them into the country with all the dangerous goods requirements. Supposed to get them repacked and rocket change every 6 years . If you have a certified aircraft then you have to comply of course but as a private builder I have far more latitude. I have done a lot of reseach on longevity and most are all fine for at least 10 years or more. Some have even been 20 years old and when let off for sh$ts and giggles they all seem to work fine. Just always need to keep an eye on the straps and connections to the frame Mark

Working on it now I have more time 🙂

After a long hiatis I have finally been able to get back to work on Mabel. 20 months it has taken to get the subdivision done at our place and to be honest a lack of enthusiasm didnt help due to being too tired to do work on her at night after doing all the work around here we have done here. The parachute is now hooked up just have to finish off some final running the main strap out of the hole at the top. The seat bases are back in and the foam has been made and ready for upholstery for them to be done. They will velcro then to the seats that are std for a savannah. The tail feathers are on and cables run and ready for hookup. Wiring for the elevator trim is done,static is run up to the top of the fin also. I will bring the wings back from the hangar shortly and fit them. I will be adding some dihedral to these wings this time. I have 4 new sections of strut material so I have to cut and fit them then I have a bit of painting to get done. There are some cover strips that have to be painted and once the new struts are done they will have to be painted. The roof section has been covered in IR and heat film and it has been fitted. The windscreen is all fitted but out at the moment while I am working on it. Then once it goes it the base section will be sealed with black sikaflex..a special one I managed to source. It would be nice to get her flying by the end of this year 🙂. Also got to trial fit the mrs and myself in there today..she likes the new comfy seats

Actually warranty repair on anything there is NOT a requirement for the company to pay for the freight on your goods. The requirement is the company will totally fix/repair or replace the goods but the requirement is that you have to get it to them. This is the actual requirement by law here in OZ. If the manufacturer does offer to pay the freight for you to get it to them then thats a bonus. But the manufacturer will usually pay the freight back to you but you pay the freight to get it to them. That is how it was with our company when I was working for them. That was the government direction.

Jab 7252 we all know radios are pretty much all the same now internally but airband radios are "certified" that magic word for lots of paperwork crap that CASA and other govt depts seem to love. The issue of course is the Yaesu ham rigs and the other brands will toast the filters if used on the airbands with any sort of power if they have been modified to all band tx. Danny yes some radios are voltage sensitive and of course you should be using a good servicable battery.
