    So It Begins, Wildman Blackhawk 98 Build

    Yep! That flight was so close to making it. There's a couple of other flights that come to mind under the same principle. Tony Pipe's MD O3400 went north of Mach 4 and folded the coupler, but the fins were still attached after coming in ballistic. Similarly, Steve Heller and Manny Ballestero did...

    Concerns About Epoxy Integrity: Piercer 98 Stored for 1.5-2 Years

    I stood on a rocket built with nearly 10-year-old epoxy and it was all good! In addition, my dad has flown his rocket built with the same epoxy over ten years ago well past the speed of sound on multiple occasions. You're alright!

    Composite Warehouse, er, Wildman

    Yep, they're all here, too! Rocket Vlogs is my personal YouTube channel but we use it to broadcast The Anti-Gravity Group Podcast (the full interview is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast locations) and for live streams. Shane and Taylor both have YouTube channels as well.

    Need Rocketeer Version of this T-Shirt

    Haha, no worries. At least it wasn't an outright stolen image like the Amazon merchandisers do. That was a pretty popular design. Maybe I'll re-launch it for the Punisher campaign that's coming up! Braden

    Anyone used the Fluctus?

    Just a little bump, here! I made a video for the Wildman channel showing the basic setup and programming for the Fluctus!

    Polecat 5.5" Nike Smoke Build

    Now the fun part. Filling, sanding, priming, filling, sanding, priming on repeat until it's perfect or I quite rocketry altogether. In reality, it's pretty close with the exception of some minor nicks and, unfortunately for me, a few paint runs. I take it personally when I have paint issues...

    Polecat 5.5" Nike Smoke Build

    For my 16th birthday, my parents bought me a Polecat Nike Smoke that I flew a handful of times before its ultimate demise. It made an appearance in Rockets Magazine and the corresponding Rockets Magazine DVD for Airfest 18. As you can imagine, that was a bit of dream come true for me as a...

    Anyone used the Fluctus?

    Just got mine and I'll be doing a sort of quick start guide/overview video for the Wildman YouTube channel. Looks great so far and I'm excited to fly it. The inclusion of the base station and software for the price point is pretty hard to argue with. I do agree, though, that mobile support...

    Fiberglass 4" Honest John long build

    No problem and thanks for watching! I was pretty surprised by how little space I needed to clear the NC, so I figured I'd share it here.

    Fiberglass 4" Honest John long build

    Just a little insight here if you're at all interested in downsizing those standoffs: For my 7.5" HoJo I used a nut tied on a bit of string as a pseudo plum bob and held it against the widest part of the nosecone, then measured from the string to the lower airframe. I only needed about an inch...

    K455 Flying Case

    I had a chat with Tony about his ejection charges at BALLS. I just let it get in my head that 20,000 feet "wasn't that high" and that these charges would suffice. Live and learn! Rockets this size in the future will likely get the vinyl tube treatment, while bigger high alt stuff is going to...
