As I alluded to in my 3" MAC Arcas build thread, I picked up my very own 4" MAC Villain from Mike. The kit is typically 66" long (27" booster, 20" payload), but I custom ordered it 21" longer with a 48" booster. This will permit me to use motors like a 54-2550 with an adapter or a 76-6000 someday. The kit looks great at the stock length, I just wanted to have a little more flexibility. A few messages between Mike and myself and I had my custom length kit...and you can too! Give Mike a ring or an email and he'll work with you!!!
Just to start, here's the run down on the rocket (from the MAC Performance Rocketry website, www.macperformancerocketry.com
Specifications:
Length: 66 inches (87" for my kit)

Motor Mount: 75mm
Approximate Weight: 64 oz (TBD for my kit)
Will fly on I through L motors (Mike texted me to correct me...my custom long kit will take an M...)
