Model Forum / General / Rockets / July 2006On the move / TNS
Good Morning, For those of you who baught The Next Shluttle from Jack Hagerty or myself, many thanks. I'm in a tight spot and if you have an interest in the book I want to ask you to purchase a copy this week via the website. I was working in Peoria and lost my job on June 30th. The good news is that I have two nuclear power plants very interested in my skills with some 21 years in the industry. One is in Florida near Miami and the other in Pheonix. Anyone doing rocketry in Miami I'd like to talk to you as well. But unemployment is so small I can't survive going to Pheonix lest I live in my car for 3 weeks. So I'm asking for everyone who has a interest in my book to buy one to help us make it thru the end of July and early August. There is no cost for shipping, the 438 page book is $25, Flight Dynamamics 4 is $35. Your not only helping a fellow rocketeer, your helping a submarine veteran. If 50 folks make orders a very dark month one my family can survie Thank you for a moment of your time.

It is a great book by the way ;) > Good Morning, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Dave Ketchledge > RocketEngineer.bravehost.com I've a couple of half completed lifting body models waiting to be finished (originally inspired by the sadly missed Mac McGarrigle's "Mac's Lifting Body Model Page"). I've been thinking of ordering "The Next Shuttle" for some time and because of your present situation I've now done so. Perhaps your book will help get thee models finished and flown. Good luck ...

Now that brings back memories! We used to fly with Mac when he was working out his lifting bodies. He really got them dialed in after a while but many of his early flights were "exciting" and sent people running. It was always a fun day when Mac showed up.

He started with something like a Quest lifting body and then started playing with the design. As I mentioned, some of his early designs made for exciting launches, my son and I had to dodge more than one before he got the thrust line issues settled out. His ultimate goal was use of an on board computer controlling the flight profile. About the time he was getting ready to add R/C control he wound up leaving the area so we never got to see his R/C version. Inspiring is a good word to describe Mac's dedication to lifting body design. This was real research being carried out with poster board and model engines.

There are other web history archives out there... ... > I've a couple of half completed lifting body models waiting to be > finished (originally inspired by the sadly missed Mac McGarrigle's [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Good luck ...

Thanks ... Already visited the Wayback machine, been to the archived website, printed off the page and looked longingly at the empty (image) frames ... I've done a quick search but all of the web archives seem to link/point back to <www.archive.org>. Does anyone know of any other Internet archives that may capture the images associated web pages?
