Blame my wife.... I was about to check out, when she looked over. I think she pulled the plug on your Datacenter; )

Ok, I know everyone is "busy" at this very moment, but I'm looking for some info/clarification on the Punisher "Sport" models --

Mainly - tell me about the nosecones! It seems like the regular "sport" is a molded glass (not polycarbonate?), and the "super sport" is filament wound - yes?
And the big question - ARE THESE TRUE "HED" STYLE LIKE THE ONE ON THE 3" PUNISHER??? Meaning, do they have the extended straight open end that is airframe ID and accepts the forward end of an AV bay?
I'm assuming they will have a screw on tip, yes? Aluminum or composite?

As far as I know, the "Punishers" that were smaller than 3" up to this point did NOT have a real HED nosecone - they were simply a regular rocket with a Punisher fin shape. This holds no interest to me. But I've been waiting for real HED nosecones in 54mm and 38mm ever since that first Punisher hit the scene, and it seems like that time has come. Has it? Are we there yet?

Pictures, descriptions, specs, "I saw one and it looks like X", etc., please.

Have fun club members - leave some for the rest of us on Saturday!

The punisher sport has a filament wound nose cone and the coupler goes up inside just like the old ones just much lighter.

Yes. I saw the nosecones myself. Tried to get one out of Tim's shop but he wouldn't let me take it... I want one.

Teddy, because I like you, I'll fill you in on some details. But you have to promise not to tell anyone, and more importantly, you can't let Tim know I told you anything!

The Demon

It has a round body tube

and a pointy nosecone

And it has more than two fins.

Crash-n-Burn · Nov 25, 2015

This is giving me way too much time to reconsider the kits I wrote NO against...

Onebadhawk · Nov 25, 2015

Tim,,,,,
No way......
There is just no way..........

You broke the freakin internet.............

Rafael · Nov 25, 2015

Can you at least tell us if the Demon is a 54 min diameter kit

Onebadhawk · Nov 25, 2015

Ya know Kev,,,
You're surprisingly calm at the moment........

Teddy

Crash-n-Burn · Nov 25, 2015

Wait... it just occurred to me that there are no motor deals tonight. Did I miss something?

smoon · Nov 25, 2015

Count me in as one who was checking out when the server crashed, and I had a Punisher SS in my cart.

I have to head out for a while. I really hope I don't lose my chance at getting this.

That's where you would be wrong.

This is my absolute *worst* nightmare, and I'm in a position where I'm waiting on someone else and cannot see what's going on. I can run the site locally against the live database, which tells me the code should be fine and the database is good.....but something is awry on the production server.

To say I'm a bit frustrated right now would be putting it mildly.

Monday, I get to relive this "fun" with a site that has dozens of production web servers and will do several million dollars in sales....

I can, but I'm not allowed to. Sorry.

hball55 · Nov 25, 2015

Got the Wildman sale email, but just visited the site and it is unavailable/down. Oooooh Nooooo!

CzTeacherMan · Nov 25, 2015

I think that someone infected the server with a virus... All that looking at Dinks... I don't know much about the intertubes, but I know computers get infected that way...

Trust me, when something like this happens, Tim will make sure you're taken care of.

I don't think there were any for the Wednesday sale last year either.
