Digging in the attic

[rainman229]

So I like to say Hi to everyone. I've been MIA for a long time. For that I am sorry.

But I dug these out of the attic and thought I should pass the view along. Fyi all 4 rainmaker do work flawlessly (after about an hours' worth of replacing degraded seals in all of them)
Stil haven't gone thru the angels and spimmy.(from Redeye project)

These have been tucked away for the last 10 years.

Also dug all the parts boxes out of the attic. And went through them all and organized them. Still deciding if i want to get back in to Air Smithing or not. Did find 4 Pump mag kits in the rummage. As well as enough part to build 4 fully stock rainmakers

Eclipse Angel LED with zero field or play time. Looks as if it just got back from out the box. Tell tail sign no bolt scoring in the breach.

Now there's a name I've not seen in AGES. Welcome back and good to hear from you! Thank you for posting the pics of your attic stuffs.

Well that's a blast from the past! Are you back making parts? Or just enjoying the hobby?

Woah, a spimmy. I completely forgot that was a thing that existed.
Woah, rainman!

HOLY CRAP! Welcome Back Claudio! Been WAY WAY TOO LONG!

I may be making a comeback. But it will be a slow process as I've lost most of my cnc file and would need to start from scratch. Or dig through backup files and fix issues all over again.
When I shut the shop down to move It was not planned well. And the main cnc computer did not survive the trip

Glad to see you around again, Welcome Back!

I still have the ultralight Rainmaker body. I think that was the Redeye build? Still not anno'd..... Need to get that up and running...

I was DeTrevni, BTW.

Hello again! Good memories!

That would be the second one made. As the first one is in the pictures. Don't think I did that one during redeye. The Rainmaker we built during that was a total failure and I still have the ruin of it.

More of the dig out
think these where made before shutting down the shop and forgotten about.

Aha! I was going off a memory that was over 10 years ago, so hey! But yeah, that's the one. Man, I miss my old RM days. You always were an inspiration to me, and I'd say probably one of the bigger reasons that I've been a professional machinist in the aerospace industry for 14 years now. Glad to see your screen name again!
