i just bought this badboy (probably for way too much money) but i've wanted one since i first saw it and now its in my living room. All done just needs a clear coat, what do you guys think? I dont think its my best paint job ever but i like the new krylon purple so i had to give it a shot. it's name is SHAKABRUH (from the zipline episode of southpark)... any avid flyers in NE Florida?

I like the color. My machbuster just needs paint to be finished. I was going to flyit but now that I see what things are going for it might never fly!
 
I got this one and another one brand new in the package from vince on this forum. That way I can fly one and have the other tucked safely away. I also have two extra nose cones if anyone needs one...
 
I still have my machbuster in my rocket box. Waiting for a day when I feel lucky enough to launch it! I think that a day at the sod farm sometime soon it will take to the air.

I flew my check six last year and it was pretty cool for sure. Love these rockets - its a shame they no longer exist as they were a lot of rocket for the money back in the day.
 
I wish I had bought several back in the day. I'd like a few of their tube fin model also!

I flew mine on a D12 for the first flight, just so I could say I got it back once. Next up was a G55. It left with a bang and was never seen again.
 
I'm thinking ill prob fly it on a D or maybe an E if the conditions are right. The G55 motors that supposedly take this thing past mach are nonexistent althought id buy one or two in a heartbeat if someone had a couple... lol. How high do u estimate yours went on a D?

Evening all (well its the evening here in the UK)

I have sat next to my TV a fully built and painted Mach Buster... never been flown complete with cute.

Is it worth anything $$??

I flew on on an F23 and it went out of sight. I want to make another but need a body tube.
 
I built this one for the CTI F85. Kit is from Dan Patell and the graphics are Stickershock. I have a couple low power flights in mined before I go for Mach. Might as well enjoy a few before I give God the chance to snatch it for his collection.
