Crazy Jim's Gone Banana's
Finally caught up with stuff and as promised the Wildman Space Cowboy. I'm building one right now. This will incorporate methods of low drag av-bay installation used in LDRS 30 challenge. { which by the way, it just happened to win! lol}
There's a bunch of them getting to new owners in need of "how to".
Borrowed the parts pic from BsSmith since he did such a nice job.
Here we go!
.....54mm Minimum Diameter Dual De-ploy High performance WildMan Space Cowboy......
This newly released kit is the next step up from the BlackHawk minimum diameter series and now fills that 54mm void.
Almost 100 bucks cheaper than a MonGoose 54 & with better performance!
This is the only kit being sold today with high performance diamond airfoiled fins. With medium sized 38 & small 2 grain 54 motors it will reach altitudes over 8,000ft..[with rail buttons!] With large 54's 20,000 ft. + altitudes, are easily attained. [with tower]
Numerous simulations & testing determined the final fin size & shape. This rocket is not for the faint of heart. This ones the real deal & some previous build experience is recommended. Mach 2 + flights are expected with no more than the recommended fillets. No tip to tip or carbon is needed. With the smooth interior of the Spiral wound cone there is plenty of room for GPS & electronics. No Carbon, No transmitting block out for trackers & GPS/Telemetry!
Glue it up, stick the biggest motor ya got in it & put it on the pad. So get ready to punch a BIG hole in the sky.
All spiral wound G-12 tubes and NC.
G-10 plate .125 airfoiled machined fins
Fincan 54mm tubing 34 in.ish
Payload 54mm 16in.
Von Karmon NC 5 to 1
1 6in. av-bay coupler
1 4in. NC coupler/shoulder
2 black anodized aluminum BP's
Both threaded for 3/16 eyebolts.
1 BP threaded for 2 tie rods # 6 allthread.
1 BP smooth bore holes for 2 tie rods.
2 threaded [#6] ejection charge holders. Screw on tie rod. Capacity approximately 1.5grams
1 set Tapered Fin guides [2]
Black High Temp epoxy kit [resin/hardener]
WARNING.......ATTENTION...........DANGER.......DON'T DO IT!!
...........................................................................................................
DO NOT ADD ANYTHING repeat ANYTHING to the epoxy. It will NOT strengthen it, but will only destroy it's full potential.
.............................................................................................................
3.2 to 3.5 lbs built ready to fly with everything sans motor as built here. [depending on use of 1 or 2 altimeters, trackers etc.]
For Maximum Performance & Altitude use a tailcone closure on motor.
Note:It's not a JR. that's just the graphics supplied to me. [Jr's are 38mm motor mounts] This will NOT come that way so don't ask LOL.
