Hey Lloyd,
It was good catching up with you last week in SF. I'm glad to see this
project, I'd been thinking of doing a similar thing for a long while.
I'm curious about your choice of self pressurized LOX. I've done
projects with LOX, nitrous, and peroxide, and LOX remains the best
oxidizer. But self-pressurization is using it on hard mode. Have you
had successful projects with it in the past? How do you plan to stir
the tank to get consistent temperature? How do you get consistent
behavior out of the injector?
Ben
