Try https://www.additiveaerospace.com/ orOkay, I asked the question one other time a day or three ago and never got an answer, so I'm gonna try again...
Who makes these cool-looking orange plastic ebay sleds I keep seeing??? I like the looks a heck of a lot better than the plywood one I just built and had to modify the heck out of! Thanks!!!
I down loaded the Centuri "X-24 Bug" lifting body from the flying saucer topic on "The Rocketry Forum" and have started to build it. Along with the Estes "Battlestar Galactica Viper" and Estes "Space Shuttle" and "MPC's Titan 3C", the "Bug" was and is one of my favorite models. It is an amazing vehicle! I tuned my original one "way back when" to fly a good 100-140' glide distance. I admit at the age of 66.75 years young, I never ever thought I would find a way to get a cheap version of it.
After I get finished with this posting, I will be getting back to work on it. Cheers and Happy Flying!
Been toying with idea of an AMX Bigger Daddy so I found the normal Big Daddy at HL and bought it with the idea of turning it into a 29mm version.Got the kit and mmt for a 29mm Big Daddy in the mail along with a chute release as to not lose it like last time.

There are a lot of build reports for them an EMRR.
Thanks!!!I believe a lot of people are fabricating their own with a 3D printer. If you are like me, not up that learning curve yet, I get mine from Additive Aerospace: https://www.additiveaerospace.com/collections/altimeter-sleds
Did you add chopped carbon to the West epoxy? Looks good.Yesterday, I glued the "Y" harness and centering rings to the 75mm motor mount tube for my Frenzy XL:
Today, I inserted the MMT into the fincan tube and stuck the fins in with Rocketpoxy. Then I mixed up some West systems and injected internal fillets:
Finally, I mixed up some JB weld and installed the Aero Pack tailcone retainer.
@Vitruvius I tried finding the flying saucer topic but with no luck.
