Trump card ho!!

Don't ever hit a skunk.

Trust me.

Wow! great result :grin:

Looks like a champ after machining.

Cast oddball tips could have great potential. Think about a rocket shaped nosecone tip.

As far as "boogered up" not yet, although this bay doesn't have many flights under it's belt, although it has gone in and out of the rocket plenty of times (due to the rocket being too big to fit...

My last three were all with the same rocket, and all for a similar reason.

performance 1/4 patriot:

Failure one and two were from not enough BP in a stock CTI 38mm reload, nose cone separated,...

I used 5 min epoxy in mine, and JB weld on the nuts that are permanently installed. It has held up just fine so far. I gave it a coat of sanding sealer on the outside of the av bay shoulders, I do...

Yea, it was windy that day, so a little more nose weight would have helped. There is a coupler nut in the tip of the nose cone that a piece of all-thread will anchor the recovery system, also it lets...

My phoenix on a windy day. I use a 44" skyangle for recovery, never had an issue with broken fins (yet... fingers crossed). It does come down pretty softly, though.

ps. it whistles...

+1 for the madcow phoenix. Mine will eat cti 2 and 3 grain motors all afternoon. And a big +1 to the folks at mad cow, my kit came with a warped fin, and after I couldn't fix it, I shot them an...

Have you ever considered doing a loose sand styrofoam vaporization? The smoke is a bit nasty, but the results can be pretty good. Also, if you used a ceramic mold wash (i think thats what its called)...

nice little melter! One thing you might want to try is a spreu and cup to pour into ontop of your piece. this would help keep shrinkage and slag inclusions to a minimum.

Wow! The build looks great!

You should make the tower motors fire at apogee and bring the tower down on a small separate chute so it doesn't get banged up on landing.

One more thing to keep in mind is the CTI starter set (rather than the cert special) contains all the cases and spacers you need to run all but the 6xl loads in the 38mm range. If you have a...

A bit bigger than you wanted, but a K360W. (3 grain 54mm)

Looking forward to next weekend. I hope to be bringing the majority of the sunday school class I teach, along with their 4" diam, 9ft. rocket "Crusader" to go up on a decent sized K.
Also launching...

I'll be painting a scheme similar to my vindicator, but with red instead of blue, and am thinking about using a candy red to cover the bare FG (taking the place of the white).

I go the cheap rout and use a coupler nut from lowes and a forged eye bolt. If you cut off the threads on the eye bolt to about half an inch, then epoxy the bolt into the coupler nut it works about...

If it has to be one impulse class it would probably be the I motor. You can get an I in three different motor diameters, and it can send anything from a few ounces of rocket screaming, to over...

Does anyone have both the kit and a slim line yet? I'm putting an order into GLR and would like to see how much sanding needs to be done.


I really should ask for a dremel this xmas :p

That's awesome! I'm hoping a 2 or 3 grain 54mm load will carry this one. :grin:

Why not try and get a group together and go for it???

I just got my box this afternoon from the guy that drives the big brown truck and his elf. The new 3" darkstar looks great, as well as the mini eagle claw.

Thanks once again for a great sale!

I dunno if they still make it, but the mim-104 patriot missile is a great performer with both the standard motor mount, and a 24mm hole. If they don't make it it should be easy enough to clone.

So earlier this summer I was conscripted by our church to teach a weeks worth of Vacation Bible School to a group of 4th graders, and unfortunately I ended up missing LDRS, but fortunately I was able...

K360 is one sweet motor.

RW had some sweet deals, too bad i couldn't swing a broken arrow.

What I don't understand about the cti 75 starter kit is why it is a 3 and 6, when there are no 1 grain reloads, and the 6xl case is in essence a 7 grain case.

If the kit was a 6xl, a 4, and the...

Would you be able to deliver to an MDRA launch? or is it through the mail only?

Sam

peeped the hojo last night, but I've really been wanting a Bomarc for the past 2 years... got one of those and a Squat for a gift.

Thank You Mad Cow!!!

Unfortunately unless you have a stash of the old f&f, the stuff in the new bin is all that I saw on the shelf. I had a tub of the old stuff that worked, but it dried out one too many times, and...

Since elmers ruined their fill and finish with a new and craptacular fomula I've been using bobdo spot putty to fill spirals, but since the colder weather is driving me inside (and I want to keep a...

I have a J712 blue loaded up for red glare this weekend. Depending on wind, weather, and eyeballs available it will be going in a darkstar junior, or a 4 inch vindicator. I'm really stoked to see it...
