Some projects you just put aside, and you actually can forget them for years, and years. I know I do.
Well, I am using a wing to an Ares I built in the 60's. Brought that out of dry dock, so, the wing, that's spoken for.
But what about the rest of the stuff?
That wing and my Ares, was to be a twin boom. My second twin boom actually, I did build a twin boom Ares and posted a photo of that, taken in 1962. Remember?
So, I'm thinking about this song today by Van Morrison called Chick-A-Boom.
I don't know why, but I'm attempting the lyrics as best I can. I have a hearing issue, so I sometimes make up my own words, drives friends crazy.
So I'm singing this thing, Boom Chicka Boom Boom Boom. Boom Chicka Boom Boom Boom. OK, I'll stop at two.
So then I'm thinking, what a great name for a twin boom CL model!
Well, guess what? I have enough stuff hanging around to build the "Chick-A-Boom."
I have the two booms, I have the nose of the Ares, and a couple of rudders.
So I dug the stuff up, added a partially framed wing I built some years ago, and this is what I came up with!
Doesn't look like much now, but give me a couple of months.
If there's interest I'll kit it!!
I should have placed this photo in. My twin boom Ares, 1962. That's not me.
