Motor mount limited to 54mm on the 5"???

That would be a stock gizmo

Tim says the gizmo has to be stock, but what you could do is have one motor hanging out the back end, and then a second motor inside the mount... sort of like a HPR chad staging? You'll just need to put some electronics to ignite the second motor.


Note- please don't fly this when I'm at the RSO table Or LCO for that matter...

I'm struggling with 13k with a Gizmo on a 54mm motor.

Maybe Glen is on to something...

It doesn't say a commercial motor...

For those who say there isn’t enough time
I am thinking of building mine on Friday night.
Anybody want to join in ?

I don't doubt that you can build the booster in an evening, but are you doing the av bay and recovery stuff, too? If so, I might be inclined.

Dang nabit! Okay okay okay, just take my debit card and keep it near the cash register. Payday tomorrow, Gizmo order tomorrow night....

PS, please do not tell my GF.......

You obviously haven’t been to a Wildman’s build party. Lots can get done in one night!

Who's "Da Judge" for this contest?

I haven’t figured that out yet are you trying to figure out who to bribe[emoji57]?

I can volunteer. I like being bribed!

No bribes, just trying figure out who's definition of "stock" I must conform to.

I'm envisioning you flying a nose cone with fins attached. "Well, he said it had to be stock, but he didn't say I had to use ALL of the stock parts"

"Tim-stock" it is!!!!

You don't need a nose cone with a 6xl in it...the motor sticks out farther than the NC anyway......ask me how I know...LOL
Anybodies guess where the altimeter goes, they will work strapped on shock cord, by the way.

I remember that [emoji33]

Yeah yours landed out in that field......far-far-away! 3hrs later I found it!
