Bob,
I would say that the summer steamup management will need to
handle this. I'd be glad to come with the equipment if they
want to pay my way!

Hi Phil,
I think Jetex engines with 1/2oz of thrust have now been superceded for
the last twenty+ years by the different size rocket high altitude rocket
motors, with up to several ozs of thrust. I never saw a Jetex motor powered
plane exceed 100'' vertical feet.
Converesly you can now
Converesly you can now buy a real fully operational 100% model jet
engine for less than $5,000. Get 20lbs + thrust and small enough to hold
in
one hand, or a C27 tender!.
WOW! No kidding?! A model engine with muti-stage compressor and turbine
fans? Where, who, let me see.
Hi Jon,
Yes, full Multi-stage, Compressors etc.
As I recall, there is one manufactures in the UK, one in France and
maybe one in the US.
(or a licensed distributor). I will have to pull out some Aeromodeller mags
to get you more details, including an article of manufacturing, materials

Ahhh. Question? You did mean 4.6% grade didn't you? 46% is one of things I'd
like to see.

Everyone,
There really are no rules. Like I said it amazes me that no
one has tried anything trick yet to my knowledge. At St.
Louis we have a hill climb event just asking for someone to
make
Phil,
My entry was correct - 46%. It totally threw me too. The
only adhesion improver allowed was chalking the rails. I
had devised a track that could be elevated to 22.5% grade
and we had to stack boxes etc under one end and calculate
the grade manually. The high end was barely reachable from
I was witness to that great 46% climb. It was very impressive!
I have video footage of the climb, but I don't think I have any still
pictures. I'll look tonight. It'll give me a good excuse to dismiss real chores.

Does anyone have any pics of Jim Sander's steam tricycle for

We gave Jerry a rest in the Butt Paste area this year. I do
have a photo of Keith Hawthorn running one behind his newly
modified Ruby. He was the original finder of the product
and brought it back so the rest of us could go get ours.
For those of you unfamiliar try www.buttpaste.com to find
Bruce pretty much summed up the entire Buttpaste story. It's a legitimate
product, with a funny name.
So, is Jim amongst our e-group? I would really like to see a pic of the tricycle.
It sounds really cool!
Later,
Trent

Dear pull contest contestants,
There is available on the market a paste product that is used to drastically
increase friction. I have seen it advertised and seen it work at industrial
machinery shows but I have never used it. The paste contains some vehicle
like grease with a very hard powder
Good grief. That's incredible. I really do wish I was there to see that!
