7th and 8th April 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[NewPaul]

I'm eyeing up the kitchen foil and clingfilm tubes at home to make sure they dont get binned. They make great rocket bodies. We used to make some great stuff when i was a lad. A popular one was a balloon with mehtylated spirit soaked string hanging out of it pumped up with hairspray. We used to let the ballon start floating away, light the string and run like mad lol

Brilliant, love it, never mind being a lad, I’m definitely gonna have a go at that one. Does hairspray give the balloon ‘lift’ like helium

Try substituting the hairspray for butane gas for a big bang. Just ensure the strings long enough though as the butane really does go up.

I'm not sure, but I think putting Mike in the same field as the cleary boys may not be a good idea

Payment just made for the Saturday !
Unfortunately couldn't make both days this time.

Having had virtually no snow today, me Rachel and Jack had a trip over to Hastings to visit A C Guns where temptation nearly got the better of me on a new HW100 but I decided it was to much money to spend again. I wish now I had purchased it and stayed in the shop a little longer because on the way home on the Bexhill Marsh road, A driver of an oncoming car suddenly swerved, lost control and hit us head on in a huge earth shattering impact. Rachel was driving and due to her extremely quick thinking and reactions, she swerved up onto the pavement and greatly reduced the area of impact saving us and the other driver. The police and ambulance crew cant believe we all walked away! Rachel has some bruising to ribs and whiplash etc and I have a sprained wrist and whiplash. Jack escaped unscathed. The airbags done their job fantastically.

OMG ! That must have been a real shock Mike, I’m so glad you are all ok barring aches and pains. Is little Jack ok (physically unhurt thankfully) ? Must’ve frightened the life out of him ?

It did frighten him for sure. There was a lot of smoke in the car from the airbag detonation which kicked my butt into gear to get everyone out as quickly as possible for fear of fire initially. Jack has since ask whether it was real or just a dream which I guess is the initial shock wearing off.

That's bloody terrible, Mike --- a member of the Boingerati contemplating buying a PCP, get a grip man.

Whats worse is that would have been my second PCP. However, I was also looking at the HW97 KT. They kindly offered to put the Nickel action in a wooden stock for me if required so seriously tempted with that combo.
