I decided to go ahead and post my build since I have months to work on this one. This will be my first build thread so please bear with me while I stumble along. If anyone has any tips or specific requests for photos please feel free to let me know.
On to the story of the rocket itself.... Ever since I really got started in the hobby, I've loved the MAC black fly design but I knew I wanted one larger than the standard 54mm offering. So one day I decided to contact Mike at MAC Performance and inquire about an upscale one off. He happened to have built a handful of 3" kits that weren't going to be part of his usual offering but since he had a couple left over he offered me one. I had really wanted a 4" but he said he had no plans to offer one in that size so I took him up on the 3". Fast forward a not too insignificant amount of time and I saw a forum post about him building a few 4" kits if anyone wanted any. Long story short, Mike(being the wonderful guy that he is), allowed me to return the 3" and pick up a 4" kit with all the fixins' to be a Dual Deploy Fly. He said I was the first, and to my knowledge no one else has one thats going to be set up for DD. Regardless, its been sitting against the wall while I focused on my L1 and some other fun projects.
Now I've started on her and I plan to document as I go along and attempt my L2(Do or do not, there is no try, right?). Thanks for coming on this journey with me!
