[blackjack2564]

I'm finished with mine.
Boy this thing was really easy to build,those machined parts just fit right together sooooo smooothly!

Ready for a couple of Drag Races, anyone want to do something stooopid?

It's just begging for some big CTI 24's.
Gotta love that built in tailcone/motor retainer.

Ditched the chute, went with streamer I ain't popping a chute at a mile high .LOL.:smile:

It's a KickAzz Flyer!!

 

[Jiffycoil]

Mine was at the door today. This is a really well made kit. I'm floored with the attention to detail that went into each part. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

 

[Eric1]

After mucho thought, I've decide to fly the Flagship!:y::y::y:

 

[Jiffycoil]

Is that a top secret nose cone? That's a nice finish.

 

[Eric1]

Is that a top secret nose cone? That's a nice finish.

No secret, Just ramjet prototype. The MkIII is in the works, It will fly on 38mm/29mm motors.

Defender MkII $34.00
Chrome job $120.00

Smile on my face ....Priceless!

 

[Jiffycoil]

Very nice.

 

[eggplant]

I will buy an MKIII the day it comes out! I love my MKII!

 

[Jiffycoil]

Hey Eric, BlackJack and all others that own the Defender. Did you use the launch lugs that came with the kit or did you use Rail lugs?

 

[eggplant]

I used the stock lugs. I have only flown mine on a D15, and it worked fine.

 

[Eric1]

I use the stock lugs.

 

[Jiffycoil]

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll go with the stock lugs too.

 

[Pantherjon]

Better shoot some video of this stooopidity! Unfortunately I won't be there Feb or March..MAY be able to make the April research launch..My work schedule sucks sometimes!:roll:

 

[Jiffycoil]

Video and pictures.

 

[blackjack2564]

I put my lugs in the V-groove next to fins, Like on Estes rockets. Right in the fin fillet.

You better be REAL quick on the camera trigger to catch a V-max Lift off. Gone in .099 seconds!

 

[Jiffycoil]

20 fps will do. I wish I had more to add to the building of the Defender but she's a fun build and I had a blast building it. Here is a picture of my first fillets.

Now Blow me away with Colors!!!

 

[Jiffycoil]

Eric,
I had this color in mind when I ordered the Defender. I have some sticker ideas and I''l have to see if I want to go the extra step.
