On my way back to Iowa ready to start the new semester, I stopped at Wildman's. I was able to get my Saab-98 which is a new kit offered by Wildman utilizing the new thin walled tubing, HEDD end deployment, and the new polycarbonate nose cones. Currently, this kit is not quite ready to be shipped out to those who bought them on Black Saturday as the 4" versions of the new nose cones are not ready yet.
This kit includes:
4" diameter body tube
4" diameter coupler and vent band
2 x anodized aluminum bulkheads
75mm motor mount
6 x 1/8" thick G10 centering rings
8 x 1/8" thick G10 fins
4" polycarbonate nose cone
This is a very cool looking scale missile that utilizes light weight parts while still being able to fly larger motors. I expect to fly this rocket on large 54mm motors and small 75mm motors; however, depending on finished weight this rocket may be light enough to even fly large 38mm motors. Pictured below are the parts (minus the nose cone) and a dry fit (with 3:1 fiberglass nose cone to simulate how it will look) with a Pro54-6gxl case for size comparison.
