Halloween did a doozy on the jetpack. When someone tried to give me a hug (don’t; bad idea) the jetpack went crashing to the floor and ended up. Well, see for yourself:

The great thing about tearing these apart and repainting them is that if (when) they break you have the confidence and know-how to fix it yourself. If someone else builds the whole thing for you well, you’re kinda screwed.

So I set up a table in the back yard and after about an hour it was as good as new. Actually better than new because I reinforced the top hooks on the jetpack. I also wired up the beacon to run through the left fuel tank and into the body of the pack. Removing the left white piece allowed access to it.
