Yeah, well, it's top secret except for the internet savvy, but you'll still have to guess what I'm building, unless you know already in which case, don't tell anybody.
I spent a few minutes wondering how I was going to round off the bottoms of these ogive nose cones.
I came up with a solution. A bench vice, a drill and some masking tape.
I was even going to cut out a form to use as a guide, but that would've been even more work. In the end I settled on the venerable TLAR method.
The next step was proving to be a little more of a challenge. I was working with a blueprint, but I had to scale it up, and I wasn't sure how to do that. Lot's of scribbling and fuzzy math ensued.
Then I asked Sandy if we had any graph paper...
Once again utilizing the TLAR method, I've made some progress.
Stay tuned for more OLAC build reports.
