In my apparently never ending quest to build (and miss launch dates) I decided at some point I will need a 75mm kit. In my own defense, I think like most I am addicted to building. My ONLY experience with anything other than Estes (and a Go Devil 29 from Madcow and Loc IRIS) has been with Mike at Mac Performance (6 kits, and now 4 self designed or mostly custom orders). The canvas phenolic is amazing to work with and is incredibly strong and durable. I am convinced that his kits, materials, and service cant be beat, so why change a great thing?
For this one I knew that when/if I am certified and then able to fly it, I would want it to have the potential absolutely scream. After quite a bit of back and forth, along with a few long phone conversations, Mike and I came up with a heavily modified version of his 3" Zodiac. The Zodiac Wild. 75mm minimum diameter.
I will be learning some new techniques with this, and it will likely be quite a long build, running concurrently with a couple others that may or may not get build threads. For now, I figured I would introduce the bird, along with the Open Rocket file. Of course the file is just a starting point.
