Well, my signature has said "Level 3: coming soon" for about 5 years now. It's about damn time.
I am flying a Wildman Punisher 4 fin can with my 4" Mad Dog electronics bay and upper section.
I am currently torn between an M1297 and M1780.
I built the motor mount today. Started where we always do, a nice 60 grit scuff for proper ashesion. If you watched my Punisher 3 build, this will all look familiar. 1" Kevlar strap bonded to the motor tube, and a good fillet along the top centering ring. The lower ring will not get a fillet in order to properly seat the fins. It'll get nice and solid with the chopped CF internal fillets.
For this one, I folded the kevlar strap over and impregnated it with epoxy to prevent any opportunity of this strap slipping out upon deployment.
Fins have been scuffed with 60 grit as well, for both internal and external fillets.
