riddler 0 #379 January 26, 2006 More new pics The fans are impressive - I am guessing about five feet tall. They look like they belong on a 747. And there are PLENTY of places to eat right across the street - heck in just about every direction. There's also a bowling alley and movie theater right there in case you have an extra long break between tunnel slots.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Come listen to some live jazz while enjoying a premium cigar after a little time in the tunnel. Definitely beats starbucks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #385 January 29, 2006 While not much bigger, I can tell you from having spent "a little" time in Perris, it "feels" bigger. The fact it's 8 pannels instead of 10 makes a difference.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Phlip 0 #388 January 31, 2006 We are SO close!!! Sorry I just had to share ... some tell me that sleeping with my tunnel suit won't make things go faster, but I think they're wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjchis 0 #389 January 31, 2006 Ha ha ha! I heard Wednesday for the first flight test??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #390 January 31, 2006 I was at the tunnel today and it looks good, both inside and out it is really coming together. More than likely the fans will be turning Wednesday, but test flights will probably be Thursday, no matter what it will definately be this week. *happy dance*Fly it like you stole it!

rehmwa 2 #391 January 31, 2006 Kelli - With Mary away on some pointless, "non-tunnel" activity , I'm counting on you to post some new pictures next week. We're looking at a short notice trip, potentially end of March. ...

Hooknswoop 19 #399 February 2, 2006 We had 2 motors running at 100% this evening. It was very quiet and smooth. I could have a conversation standing right next to the motors. We are going to crank the other 2 tomorrow, then all 4. Hopefully we'll have the first flights tomorrow also. The entire crew is doing one hell of a job, getting everything done and dealing with problems as they arise. They even lit up the indoorskydiving.org sign up tonight. It looks great. I forgot to take a pic, for which I'll probably be fired.. Derek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
