I know... lol. It's almost fully built, all I have to do is glue the fins in. For some reason I stalled on that and lost the love for the fin design. Grabbed some canvas plate and cut some new ones. Never did pull the trigger on a max.... Haven't seen any built either....who got them all?Dave, still not done with that PK3? I thought for sure you finished that ages ago. Seems like there aren't too many painkillers flying in any size. Ever build your PK Max?
I've yet to complete mine... I'm making it DD. Apogee is a 4" x 4' streamer... think it'll be a 24" main around 300' or so.
I've been playing with making a small DD bay for this and my Eagle Claw mini.... I've got a spare 4" coupler, RRC2 and a 3d printed sled....
4"? I thought the PK was 38mm (the one I have), also 3" and 4.5"?
I keep meaning to get back down into the lab and fiddle with this some more, but I've got some other projects I've been working on--half-playing with the idea for a new book, and recently overhauled a 103 year-old sewing machine. I do need to get some 38mm coupler and work something out and get this thing flying already. I was strongly considering one of the Featherweight 38mm av-bays.
They're darn sharp looking little rockets once painted up. But man I am nervous about shoving a 6 grain into mine. I do have a 144G65, but may put that into my Scion instead. Flies great on an Aerotech F39. An E18 in it did fly, but weathercocked pretty bad, I wouldn't go under 30n average thrust for any future flights.
With the low fin height be warned, it's a grass hider. Here's mine with its Warhammer 40k theme.
Also have a PK3 which I did my L2 with, using a CTI 1281K360 ... whoooooo boy did that one go. Can't wait to try a 4 grain.
Wish I was able to get the Painkiller Max when it was available, will have to piece it together from the rocksim file.
