The Burlington event went off as planned, with 4 teams. The Gourdinator, Bob Peterson and his onager, which now is called Bad Wolf, Robert the Bruce with a nice new Modred, and the Girl Scout team for their 3rd year with a trebuchet. All did reasonably well but I don't have the stats, because I did ...

How come you are gonna retire Ballistikraft? I always thought it was kind of cool. What sort of weight ratio were you using for that 594' shot? Anyway, I also look forward to seeing the new Modred.

Congratulations to you and Ballistikraft, which I will miss. Look forward to seeing your new one. Don't forget some extra tools to stack on the counterweight! I was with Bob Peterson and Skyward. Its arm fell down between the rails while I was helping cock it, due to a bolt having worked loose undet...

I'll see y'all at Burlington. If the weather is nice, I will bring Sevara. It finally has its side braces and new channel. I look forward to seeing old and new friends.

Haven't tried a whipper or King Arthur yet. My trebs are Scherzers--the hub rolls forward along a track but it isn't a wheel, more of a circular rocker--like a Scherzer bridge. So it might be considered "floating everything"--perhaps. I will try to come up with pictures in a bit. This was ...

I remain afacebookual and iltwitterate. Just what is an FET? Do you mean the kind with wheeled hubs, like an FAKA only it's an HCW? All right, I'll Google it. But my experiment in that direction some years back got about 20% more distance than the same configuration with normal fixed hubs, even when...

KerikM, Archfiend of Afterswing, here. The head honcho fixed my login issues, for now anyway. I was at Burlington last fall, moving on a pair of new knees. Had the privilege of helping Bob P with his machines again and seeing some other fine ones in action. But one of my other privileges was having ...

Y'right about not believing everything one reads justlikethat. Congratulations on your own new personal record. Especially with a headwind. Thanks also for fixing my mistake about Colossal Thunder's dx [Oops.]

My cousin just told me about the catastrophe at the Delaware chunk--that air cannon exploding and 2 hurt, 1 critical. I checked the news via Google. This has been a sucky year for the hurling community! (Not to mention my ongoing lack of access to a machine shop to work on MY projects.) Except for C...

Real nice! I will study the pix at leisure in days to come. To comfort myself for the loss of the 2 local events here in WA.
