Well the beastie "Punisher" has been revealed. Now it's time to build it!
Last NSL 2008 was at our club, Orangeburg...again it will be held there May Memorial Day Weekend 2015- 3 day event.
Don did a little Thor 38 airframe with 29mm motor. It sold for 54.00 and sold out in 1 day. [2008]
We are doing 2 this time & by buying in bulk.....7yrs later will be able to sell them a bit cheaper......49.00 your choice.
With real Kevlar this time, not mule tape and the Punisher has G-10 fins so you can punish the sky & they'll still be there after a big motor flight.
We will be donating at least 5.00 per rocket to club towards new launch system.
"Punisher" beastie.
High Performance light weight rocket. Will fly on 24mm 1-2-3-6 grain & 29 mm 1-6grain . Ya might get a 6xl in there...maybe. I know I will try before it's over! This is just a fun little beasitie, fly well on small cheap motors & if your willing to risk losing it...let it rip. It will handle it with the G-10 "Carbonite" fins 1/16in. Sims to over a mile...way over.
No nose weight needed so far for smaller motors. Check for stability when moving up the food chain.
Parts:
38mm heavy duty Loc airframe 17in
29mm motor 7.5in
[3] G-10 "Carbonite" fins 6in. root
[2] fiber CR's 1/2. wide [to mount rail button if you desire]
[2] 1/4 launch lugs 1in long
38mm heavy duty LOC NC 8in. long [yes it has flown over ******]
1/8in tubular Kevlar Shock Cord 750lb. 12ft. long
Nylon rip-stop parachute 15in.
Full set of ''Punisher" vinyl decals
Airframe comes fully marked for fin position & lug or R buttons ...that one is labeled with a tiny "L" for the dunderheads that can't figure it out.LOL
Very , very little spiral shows through the glassine. I will show my new "technique" for easily attaining a glass finish.
Yes....YOU have to cut the fin slots....this is real kit building, old school. I have to laugh when I hear guys talking about having to do this horrible, terrible, earth shattering deed! At least I marked them for ya.
The fins alone make this a winner. Black 1/16in. G-10 plate, not plain black, "carbonite" textured, poor mans carbon look..lol
You can use either epoxy or polyurethane [Gorrila-Elmers] to put them on.
Wildman get the credit for helping us out here. [thank you Tim!]The first 32 kits will have those, after that Baltic Birch 1/8 ply.
I searched high & low for days to find real USA made 1/8 tubular Kevlar affordable enough to use in these kits. MIL Spec! And it ain't cheap.
But everything in this kit is top shelf. Had to buy 3,000 ft to get it reasonable.
Through out this build I will supply accurate weights on all parts and finished kit for sim files, including glue, paint, decals & buttons.
So far the parts weigh 9.1 oz. and the finished rocket with a 24 adaptor and F-39 motor loaded in it, ready to fly...13.4 oz.
I will add individual part weights later.
Will also describe in detail, exactly how to tape and paint so anyone desiring the original "look" can easily replicate it.
Step by step on applying the vinyl.
How to safely wet sand cardboard.
I'm actually building this one for some "lucky" fellow , who will get it finished and ready to fly!
