Due
to time constraints, and the fact that the GBU has been taking up
exactly 50% of my processing time for these three rockets, I have
shelved construction of the GBU-15 until after Plaster Blaster. I would
much rather have something to fly than nothing to fly at Plaster
Blaster, and this was the most logical choice: It is somewhat oblique
in it's construction, and many of the steps that I need to take in
order to construct it the way I was intending consist of dedicated
tasks that I do not need to perform on Pato II, and Phoenix.
There are a couple of things, like the fin set, that
will continue to be processed along with the parts from Phoenix, and
Pato II, where it makes sense to do so, but I am afraid that in order
to stay married, and get two rockets to Plaster Blaster, I am not going
to be able to have the GBU ready until maybe RocStock in June next
year. Trust me, I am more disappointed at this than anyone.
I have not given up, and I am not discouraged, rather
encouraged with the ability to better concentrate on the two rockets,
instead of having differing construction paths for all three rockets.
So far, my schedule is not too far behind that I won't be able to catch
up with not having to spend half of my time on the GBU, but who knows
what lies around the corner.
