mdrejhon 8 #201 March 8, 2006 A few more turn vanes and tubes, and we can literally run it on the spot. Leave the cladding off. Fly in the naked wind tunnel. (No no, not flying naked, I mean a naked wind tunnel without the cladding). Who knows, you could be open this month. Okay, okay, I'll wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #202 March 8, 2006 When do say tubes do you mean collector in the bottom? There are no tubes in the outside towers, the entire tower itself is the air tube. Otherwise the louvers to let cool air in wouldn't work.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #204 March 8, 2006 naked? tube? lo(u)vers? I think the greenies are watching us. Shhhh! (Yes, I meant the structure itself as a recirculating "tube". Just finish the interior enclosures and forget the brick and mortar cover for now, and let us fly sooner. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalling2day 0 #205 March 9, 2006 It all sounds good to me but it we have to finish it. Trust me,.. no one wants to see our tube of pleasure run more than Rob and myself! Thanks for the thoughts and we look forward to seeing you. Blue Skies! Laurie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #206 March 9, 2006 If one were to tie a rope from the down flow area's roof and hang upside down in the down draft, could there be enough air to push on? Seems like it would be windy, but not that windy. But if you tried it, it might be fun. before the headache sets in. ...

skycat 0 #207 March 9, 2006 I'm not sure how fast the wind is in the down flow tubes, but in the basement it's only about 30 miles per hour.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #210 March 11, 2006 Yay! But let's have a moment of silence for the sacrifical 100-Jump Wonder with the Golden Parachute Rig that we sent to the volcano for appeasement of the SkyGods of the Blue Skies... Whatever he did, it worked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bliston 0 #213 March 12, 2006 Members of our team will be there (with promotional stuff from various manufactures... ). While Laurie and Rob are certainly the best source for all tunnel info, if you've got questions about how the tunnel can improve your belly flying skills, we can certainly share our thoughts... Rob, you've got to show to see if you can continue the raffle winning streak... BenMass Defiance 4-wayFS website sticks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freefalling2day 0 #216 March 15, 2006 Well,.. just another update,... The rigging crew is still working on the fine tuning of the air components up on the top. Rob has joined them to help get it done faster. He also likes playing with the snorkel lift that goes up 65 feet! The steel crew is now putting up the final steel on the top for the roof. The siding crew is also there lining the return air towers. The plumbing crew is DONE and we have pipes in what will be our private bath! . I will post a new picture soon! Blue Ones!

freefalling2day 0 #221 March 21, 2006 Just another update,... It sure was a cold and windy day here today but It never seems to stop our fellow skydiving friends from coming by to see the tunnel. The steel erection crew will be finishing the roof steel tomorrow. The siding crew is working hard on skinning the return air towers. Then they will move on to the roof exterior and close in the equipment deck. I will post a new picture tomorrow. Blue Skies! Laurie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PapaSmurf 1 #222 March 24, 2006 Yesterday I stopped by the tunnel for the beer time and I must say it's looking mighty fine. Since Laurie & Rob are busy working on the tunnel, here's a few pictures from yesterday, March 23, 2006. The pictures don't show how BIG this tube of pleasure really is. Thanx! for your time & efforts Laurie & Rob !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
