Well, now that World of Speed has been canceled and I don't have enough time to prepare the lakester for Speed Week, I can relax getting a few things done on the car. Aside from all the obvious things learned from 2017, finishing off the final three feet completing a better aero package (according to the Darko wind tunnel), has taken quite a bit of time. Like most things of this type, several iterations were considered, then discarded, to the point where I had to shoot the engineer and start building. As it turned out, that was a good way to begin. Bad ideas presented themselves quickly and better ideas emerged. So, I began at the bottom with a triangle and worked my way up.
I wanted to retain both push bar and parachute tether locations as they had worked well in 2017 but everything had to expand three additional feet. Images are better than any words I can muster so here are a few. I am limited to 500 KB total image size so I may have to post the rest in another posting or two.
