Project Goal: This years XPRS will mark the 7^th “Birthday of my Black Brant II. At last years XPRS on it’s 9^th flight I blew a hole right through the side of her upper airframe. One of the e-charges was too tightly packed and basically turned into an M-80 and when packing the chute it was pushed up against the side, when it went off it blew about a 1.5” hole right through the airframe.

Now that she is repaired, she is ready to make her 10^th flight, but with a little something extra added in. This year the Black Brant will be carrying a payload of some of my Chili, taking it to new heights. If the Chili survives it will be of course served at the first annual XPRS Chili Cook off.
