Fixed that for ya' Tim.

I know the WM V2 is a little different beast than the Mad Cow V2 for one thing its 5.5" MC is saying 32" for the tip of the nose cone for the CP. So I think your very close with the WM V2 Beast.

Got my fix for the April from WM today. Its the new V2. I have been after Tim to do a semi-scale kit for sometime now. Very well done Tim.

Got mine today!!

I wonder if there is a Yellow and black colour scheme I can paint it???? Hmmmm?

Jason
What other color would you paint it? I have an idea for mine Tim may not like it. No its not a Packer V2.

Wac bumper V2?

Fred

Finishing up the build of mine. Will be flying it at the QCRS Memorial weekend launch. 5 grain green M or a 3 grain white. Weather will decide. This is an awesome kit!! Thanks, Wildman for another winner.

Well I finally flew my PAINTED V-2!

Did it like Davids drawing to honor his new title DR. David!

Actually the 3rd flight.First 2 unpainted.


Flight 1. CTI 75mm 2 grain L-910 C * 6, 128 ft

2nd CTI 75mm 5 grain L-1410 Skidmark 12, 810 ft!!!!!


3rd flight After popping off a couple large motors went the other way to see how it would do on a "small field " motor. flown today. [actually yesterday Sunday]
..........................................................
CTI 54 yep 54mm CTI 3 grain J-760 White Thunder good kick off the pad with 210 lbs initial thrust [ 170 average] flew arrow straight to 2258 ft.
.........................................................
Nice "see it all" flight. I think this would be as small as I'm willing to go and feel good about it.

NO ADDITIONAL NOSE WEIGHT ADDED FOR ANY FLIGHT!

Side 1 Side 2 Parts

CJ
Very nice looking rocket. Its hard to believe no nose weight that's cool. Who's the other guy in the pictures? The young looking one.

CJ, awesome job--beautiful V-2. Could you also show some pictures of your Head-End Deployment setup on that one? I'll be building my 4" Super Jart the same way soon.

Very nice job CJ. Guys I got to see the rocket at Bong when the paint was still wet. CJ when you flew it with the J-760 did you use the DD recovery? I would like to fly mine with main at Apogee with smaller motors if the launch site is big enough. I don't mind a walk once in a while.
See you in July

Sure Mark.... here are some links to the V-2 build & the Jimbo Jart:

https://www.rocketryforum.com/showt...t-Jart-4-in-DD-in-NC-or-any-Jart-build!/page2

If there is something you don't see just PM me or call for explanation. I only used 1 threaded 1/4 rod on the JJart down the enter with coupler nuts and 1/4 eyebolts on each end. If you can find eye nuts it will make for a neater install. either way there is plenty of room inside for a sled with 2 alts. & batteries on 1 side.

Ha Ha...... look who's talking ....old man huh! That's Chuck, Jerry from LOC's cousin, we had a private launch last weekend. Just Me & Jerry launching with Chuck & Bryan [from NASA] there to watch. We flew 9 rockets in near perfect conditions, sunny & clear blue skies, no wind, temp's in the 70's,the kind of day you always wish for!

Yes it was set up exactly the same as for any size motor I would fly in DD mode. The only thing different was I did not bother with a tracker.[not needed, even if it went "rainbow" we could have found it, fields still not planted. It had a 36in regular "OLD" Topflight for the drogue & 60 in Recon for main, which is absolutely perfect for this rocket. Main brings it down slow and soft! I love your stuff Gary!.

BTW, for those interested, the V-2 is now available on the Wildman website.

Flew mine on Saturday on a CTI M1160 Green [ZERO nose weight]

Awesome kit. Thanks, Tim for another great one. Also a big thanks to Dr. David Reese for all his work on this one as well.

...I hope

I just don't get the no nose weight part???? Any other short rocket we always have added nose weight. I guess time will tell when I get mine in the air.

Looks like 2 different motors. Thanks for posting.


Beep beep boop boop

That's the new dual color reload from CTI green to White Thunder. Blue to red would be nice.
Have Fun
