    Madcow V2 2.6" thin walled fiber.

    Hey guys, I have searched here, google, and madcows website. Does anyone have an Openrocket or Rocksim made for this yet??? Yes, I checked madcows website, and beneath the instructions, there isn't a rocksim for this particular model. I also emailed madcow, but haven't heard back as of yet...

    Had my first casualty.

    Just read your thread. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a few people have all had the same problem. Its unfortunate as it is an awesome rocket for its size, and price point. Maybe with some mods I could make it work. Think ill just move onto some fiberglass model next :)

    Had my first casualty.

    :eyeroll: Well I'm going to blame this one on my not trusting my gut, and launching it when I shouldn't have. My G-force got off the pad pretty good. Almost too good for the Aerotech launch pad, as you can see the blast shield spin, and the base actually jumped from the downward force. When...

    Mid power round 2

    Thanks, actually i didn't do a great job on the mustang fillets. I used an epoxy that turned really hard, and did not take to being sanded. I could have used my dremel to smooth them out, but seeing as this is just a fun rocket, and not for competition I just let it go. And here is a pic of...

    Mid power round 2

    Well after my success with my Initiator, and using standard aerotech single use motors, I decided I needed a new rocket, and a 29-40/120 RMS. Unfortunately I couldn't decide which rocket to get, so I bought 2. A G-force for myself, and a Mustang for my son. Here are the completed pictures...
