"THE PUNISHER "IS HERE! Build & PiCs begins Post #15 !
This is the post where I show the parts & finished mock up of Wildman's [ ??.00 ]special for BlackSat.
It is one of the new additions to the Wildman fleet. Designed to knock performance out of the ball park or fly small motors with big motor results.:smile:
You don't want to miss this one. The first in a new line of DD utilizing a new lightweight, heat resistant with phenolic tip nose cone.
Same material phenolic nozzles are made from, so heat should not be an issue, nor keeping a metal tip centered. [yes Von Karmon]
The tip will be threaded to accept a 1/4 in eyebolt, so you have an attachment point for the main chute right out of the NC!
The NC has no shoulder built on it. The first 3in of NC are same OD as airframe & the first 3in ID are made to accept spiral wound coupler [G-12] . Perfect fit, with smooth transition from cone to airframe.
It has a built in ledge or stop on the inside to prevent the shoulder/coupler from wedging itself in the cone! Pretty slick.
You no longer need an av-bay or payload, [or use a payload & av-bay if you desire] as you now use the NC coupler with BP's as the av-bay! Build the NC coupler just like a normal av-bay...with BP's on both ends, altimeter sled inside, arranged the same way you are familiar with.
Slide the completed av-bay/ NC shoulder into the NC after attaching recovery gear.
The NC gets shear-pinned to the coupler with the main & shock cord neatly packed inside! Wildman calls this H.E.D. head end deploy.
[or simply DD utilizing the nose cone]
There is a vent band just like regular av-bay for vents ...switches etc. And due to the first several inches of the NC being same diameter as the airframe, your vents holes are actually far enough away from cone , no worry about turbulence messing up readings of altimeters!
You immediately lose a couple pounds of weight......No more payload & av-bay. Less drag.....shortened rocket.
I foresee some really high flights with this set up.
Also light weight thin-wall construction through out, will further add to more altitude and performance.
So tomorrow, as soon as the Sale begins......so will the build thread, so you can see, how simple high performance will be to build!
Just as gasoline prices have now dropped dramatically, so has the cost of flying these new kits.
I think you will find,this is a kit you all have been eagerly waiting for, price...size...and performance wise!:dark:
Let the build begin...................... tomorrow......... SAT. after the sale starts!
