Size and, shape of fins cannot change?
No thinning down the fins?
Templates?

Now :rolleyes:WHO :rolleyes: would DO :rolleyes: SOME-thing like that?

Fins "Should" be reinforced? Why, it's going through Mach 3 and, back in just a split second!:D

I'm in. Hopefully decals on it by then.

Noooooo! *more mass* :surprised: Auuuugh! Slows that little $#!? down a tenth of Mach!
 
"Payload"

More propellant counts as payload, right?

Dude! :facepalm: Shhhhhhhh.....:eek: More room to put the L*ki 54-4000 case in....shhhhhh....

"How do I get it too fit Mr. Gus:confused:"

Thrust ring NOT required, glue the casing in!:grin:

"What if the motor hangs out the back Mr. Gus:confused:"

Pretty anodized "boat tail"!;)

"Where do i put the Altimeter and, parachute:confused:"

What parachute? STREAMER! Along with your Altimeter in the Shnozola!

"Won't THAT break the waiver Mr. Gus:confused:"

WHAT WAIVER? This is WAR!:bangbang:

I figure Scott will be out of those casings by closing today.....

Your right Ken, good call on the "Template Deal".

Only because some people....*ahem* some people....*cough* som.....OK, ALOT OF US....have put a little TOO much effort into "Stealing the C:eek::eek: kies!
 
Ummm.... ya know you can glue single use motors to the airframe between the fins & now ya got 4 motors!
 
As cool as that would be, no. K1499 is 75mm, and Manish Boy flies Macaroni motors...

Good idea.

I also prefer for my commercial motors to not blow up. :wink: Research motors on the other hand...

Your right Chad...Figured he might duct-tape the critter to the bottom and, "Salt the Nose" with some Ballast!:lol:

I've learned too never underestimate the mind of Little Taco...
 
Wildman 6" V-2
This is for this first 10 that respond only.
You must already have a 6" Wildman V2
Reload and hardware special. So low I can not advertise it.
M 3100 White Thunder and 75mm 5 grain hardware set.
You have to call to get it.
Remember it the first 10 only.
We will build the motors on Friday night at Wildman's shop.
