The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

I think we all wish we had a "Mel"... he does all the work!

Mel and I work well together! And you will notice I give him credit for what he does! We butt heads once in while but 99% of the time we get the job done. He lives to drill holes and make stuff. I can do all of that also but, on stuff like we were making Sunday, I just let him loose, that's what he likes to do. I do most of the design and planning and listen to Mel when he has input.
It was funny Sunday morning listening to him tell me the hinges weren't going to work... I told him we needed to constrain both sets of arms to get the hinges to function properly. He went to work and made the little brackets to do that. Once everything was bolted together the hinges worked great and he had to agree they will do the job I designed them to do.
We got a lot of planning done Sunday. With him making the little parts it leaves me open to work on the head scratching stuff. Now we have plans in place to finish the floor and fuel tank and I can get busy building the hinge boxes while Mel works on the floor stuff.
Thanks for reading along and give Mel a big thanks for all of the work he's done!
