Good luck with the L2 flight tomorrow at Bong. See you there.

Will the 9V battery fit?

Last night I started on my 4" Wildman Darkstar Dual Deploy: Washed the fiberglass BTs, NC, MMT, and couplers. Sanded the CR to fit inside BT and on MMT. Sanded rough edges of bulkplates. Cut threaded...

Will be following your build. I'm thinking about building an Ultimate Wildman for my L3.

Looking forward to following your progress. Hope I'll be there when it's ready to launch.

Great flight on Saturday Russ and also enjoyed your build thread.

I can't wait! Of course after moving into a different house now I have to find where I packed all my supplies, set up my new build area, and do any repairs to my rockets from transporting them. ...

Nice.

Guess your Super DX3 will have to be 1" shorter now.

I read about the "3-5 times the rocket length" in Mark Canepa's book Modern High-Power Rocketry 2. Don't have it with me right now so can't reference it to give you better information but think he...

No, I won't even try wood glue on fiberglass because I know it won't work. That's why I'm going to build some paper/wood kits like LOC. I've mostly used hobby store epoxies and the smell really...

Thanks for the input. On one hand it's disappointing I can't do some of the fiberglass projects I want to do. But on the other hand there are some great paper tube kits out there and I look forward...

I've built a couple fiberglass rockets in the past (Wildchild and Jart) and I'm currently in the middle of building a Wildman Drago and Vindicator Jr. I've tried every safety precaution including...

My fiberglass nose cone from Wildman fits my Jart pretty well. The outside diameter of the nose cone lines up perfectly with the BT outside diameter. The nose cone couple was a little loose inside...

Yes, MWP would be the plan but not for a couple years (at least). Want to do a lot more H & I and few more J,K & L before I try L3. I probably would be more comfortable doing it at Bong and that...

I want to second what Chad said. Would really like to see an Extreme version of Shape Shifter. I'm thinking about an L3 attempt in my future and I'm currently thinking about the Extreme Wildman but...

Time to start Christmas List:

Jeff,
Not sure exactly were your work area is (inside or outside) but the cold temps today in SE WI could be slowing down the cure rate of your epoxy.

It was nothing dramatic like a lawn dart or impaling anyone. I couldn't tell if the nose cone ejected too early, too late, or was just to heavy with nose weight but moral of the story is DO NOT use...

I bought a 12" long e-bay for my 4" Madcow Super DX3 and I love it. Purchased it from K and S Rocketry: http://www.kandsrockets.com/ebay.htm

First flight of my Jart on a G125 and I lost the nose cone. Maybe it was for the best. Next day I purchased a fiberglass one from Tim. Here it is all painted and ready to go.

No, it's 1/2(4F) + 1/2(2F) = 2F + 1F = 3F. It does add up! :)

A few comments from someone who also used this rocket for his L1 and L2 flights this past summer: The rocket would struggle on anything smaller than an H so it would be difficult to do any trial DD...

Just add tape to the shoulder for the correct fit into the BT, but I think you already know that part. My NC body was only slightly smaller than the BT OD. I sanded a bevel at the top of my BT so...

Rouse-Tech hardware is completely compatible with Aerotech reloads.

I like mine painted. A lot of people don't paint the nose cone because it's hard to get paint to stick. I wanted a metallic nose like a real jart.

My Jart is ready to go this weekend.

Yes, it will work. I use Q2G2 with my Adept22 and Adept DDC2.

I've attached a picture below of my Madcow Super DX3. The black center band is a K and S Rocketry E-bay. I did my first dual deploy last sunday morning and later in the afternoon completed my L2...
