Gentledudes,
I'm building a Wildman Extreme for my L3 project (4" body/75mm motor). I am planning on using the Aero Pack tailcone retainer (because it looks so bitchin') and have a couple of questions before I break out the JB Weld
(1) I'd like the option to fly 54mm motors to keep the altitudes reasonable for our regular field. Aero Pack makes a 75-54 adapter, but they weren't specific about whether it would work with the tailcone retainer. Does anyone have experience with this?
(2) If it is possible to use the adapter with the tailcone, could I also use it along with my 75mm CTI cases to dry-fit the tailcone to the motor tube before I glue it up? I left the motor tube a bit long and will trim it to the proper length when I've got a motor (or motor/spacer combo) to make sure it fits properly. I would like to avoid buying the 75mm case (and motor in a cert special) until this summer, when I can get to fields where M's make sense in this rocket.
Any/all advice appreciated, thanks!
