I purchased an Ultimate Wildman from Wildman's 2014 Black Saturday Sale. This thread will take you through my step by step process in building the rocket and attempting my NAR L3 Certification. I will pick up the kit in January so no pre-build pictures yet but per Wildman's website the kit consists of:
•6”x60" slotted fiberglass booster = 6lb 12.7oz
•6”x30" fiberglass payload bay = 3lb 5.1oz
•6”x6" fiberglass switch band = 10.5oz
•6”x18" fiberglass coupler = 2lb 12.4oz
•6” fiberglass molded nosecone = 1lb 6.2oz
•98mm fiberglass motor mount = 1lb 0.8oz
•3 Centering rings = 2.1oz each
•2 6” aluminum AV Bay Lids = 4.0oz each
•6” wood nosecone coupler bulk plate = 7.9oz
•Kevlar bridal = 1.65oz
•3 3/16” beveled thick g10 fiberglass fins = 8.35oz each
I will update this thread as the project progresses but I do not build quickly so please be patient. I enjoy the construction process even more than the launch. The launch to me is the culmination of a successful build. I am currently looking at a mid 2016 launch at my home launch site of Richard Bong State Recreation Area, WI. Our waiver is 10,000' MSL so I'm currently planning on using a CTI 75mm M Motor (5472-M2250 C-Star or 6287-M2075 Smokey Sam).
I welcome constructive replies.
