    I just built a Madcow Jayhawk. Wouldn't it be great to fly the "before" version (Madcow) and the "after" version, or "oops" version (ACME).

    With Wile E. on the cone and lots of random stickers: band-aids, extra metal patches/hatches, dripping green ooze (stole the idea from Carl Tulanko), and even my own "no BATF" sticker. On EMRR.

    Ideally, the decals would wrap all the way around and they don't. I couldn't get them wide enough without making them too tall. And there were some limitations to how I could arrange them. With the launch lug standoff on one section and fin 3 extending up into another section, I had to stagger their orientation so you can't see all them from any one angle. But they are on and I'm fairly happy with it all things considered. A couple more light coats of clear coat, the nose weight (gotta remember the nose weight) and she's ready to fly.

    If it says ACME; then you know who has to be behind it.

    Ok I actually finished building a Flis Kit. Got a few in the "Get to, someday" pile, but with the others here, decided to get my ACME Spitfire done. Sorry for the busy background on the photos. Messy build table.

    I can't imagine any better motivation to buying a FlisKits Acme Spitfire, than seeing a thread like this one. I really have to buy one of these!

    I know there are more out there, too. Let's see em!

    This would also include the upscales....


    What's the largest motor you have stuck in a stock one? Altitude?

    Inspired by Sather, I decided to build one in the style of my missile of choice. A challenging kit, I highly recommend!

    No clue if it's stable, sure hope so... I added a bit more weight than provided (with the kit) to the nose, should be ok. The Bull Pup has always been one of my favorite designs, funny that this is my first one!

    Thanks for the compliments Jim, and bigger thanks for putting the time in on this kit! I can't imagine what you have into it, it's a dandy! I'm afraid I won't be getting out to your neck of the woods anytime soon, but I'll put video up on the youtube when I get to flying it. Thanks again.

    Oh...so are those accel based altimeters? I ask because I don't think a baro alt would do well with a body shape like that unless you did something unique with the sampling holes.

    The ARTS2 is accellerometer based. The WRC is a wireless remote control. If it does not see apogee I have a button in my hand to make sure the laundry comes out.
