I love the split fin design. I have two GLR Talons & am about to build an Ultimate Darkstar.

Nice pics, very organized looking ebay. Too bad I just glued my switchband on last night. However it's possible I could countersink the 1/2 in. hole with 5/8 not going farther than the depth of the...

The doghouse rocketry quick disconnect wiring kit should do the trick! Thanks for the info on that Jeff.

Alot of you rocketeers use this rotary switch on your HPR rockets. It typically is mounted through the wall of the vent coupler if there is one & thru the side of the ebay.
I like them because they...

Nice avatar, check out mine.

I had a day off so I made my parts list, av bay design, flight sim data, and rocket stability diagram for my Ultimate Darkstar.
I just emailed them to my TAP advisor for approval so I can start...

It's official then, thanks Jeroen.

It was sort of clear on the CTI website. Like GaryT said The Pro 75 6XL casing can used with a spacer to accomodate a Pro 75 6 grain motor. Up to two spacers can be used.
I take it they are simply...

According to CTI dimensions the 75 6XL case would overhang almost 10 inches from the top of the motor tube. Open rocket says it's stable with a 6xl engine loaded.

We are looking at a 30 in. 98mm. motor tube with aeropac 75mm. adapter. Is the overhang too much with the 6XL? The 6XL case sounds attractive but only if it is certified to use with a 5 grain motor...

For my Ultimate Darkstar L3 which I hope to start building shortly I will use a 5 grain 75mm M motor, not sure which one yet.
For growing room can I use a 6 grain XL casing with two spacers to fit...

Yes it is available. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, I take it that the black version does not need paint if black is going to be your background color. Maybe a bit of future wax to shine it up?

Love the look of the Nike-x.
Used to have a Qmodeling 2.6 version, flew the crap out of it. Is this a scratch build or a production build that you offer to the public?

After lots of research & brainpicking I ordered A Wildman Ultimate darkstar black edition.Very excited
Will post a build thread when I decide to start since I have to document it anyway. Hot Damm!

Ok Tim, you got a deal!

I looked into the Ultimate Endeavor. Nice rocket. When I added all the upgrades (fiberglass frame , 75 mm motor mount etc) It was priced similar to the other two choices. Haven't really given it a...

It looks like you are the proud owner of the last Talon 6 Kevin. Too bad I kind of wanted the mother of the Talons. At least my choices are narrowed now. Still considering Ultimate Darkstar or Madcow...

Hey cool Kevin, good to know. I noticed GLR has no pricing on the Talon 6 right now. Is this because of build options & choice of materials?

No its a genuine Talon 4. I named it SKUNKWORKS after the Lockhead Martin specialty Aircraft program.113572

Up to now all my builds have been kits. Alot of my senior club members recommend a scratch build for L3 for the "whole experience of the rocket. I agree with this statement except that I'm only home...

My Skunkworks Talon 4 on a K360 at LDRS 31113433

Beautiful job on the paint and nice choice of rocket. I have a GLR Talon 4 that looks pretty cool but I cheated and used STICKERSHOCK23 to make me look good.

That was very awesome camerawork! Was this video that you chopped into still shots?

Since you enjoy the Black Brant 11 design did you consider the 4 in. version of Mad Cows Black Brant 11? Yes it is alot bigger but it would be transported in 2 pieces in your small car. It would fly...

I also like those featherweight screw switches as you can use the altimeter vent holes to access the switch. Yes you really need to plan ahead as far as getting a precise fit when lining up the...

Dammm, I knew I should have waited till Sunday to get my L2! Got mine on Friday at LDRS but no KARI!

Wow much better liftoff shots than I got. Thank you for posting those!

Thank you, my trip home was fine. Only a 4 hour drive.When I crossed over to Canada on Sunday I was held up for at least 5 minutes at customs, because the girl in the booth thought my rockets were so...

Thanks Mark, I will rescue rockets in distress in tall trees with you any day! I was gonna drop by the trailer that evening but went out to dinner with guys from my club & well the rest is history!...
