What a bad windy morning. Hope it calmed down if the afternoon for anyone who stuck around.

My "plan" involves: 1. Hacking off the NC base and a bunch of the shoulder. 2. Installing an initial lead/epoxy slug in the NC tip with screws to anchor it. 3. A two piece bulkplate setup installed in the NC. One centering style ring affixed with epoxy/screws and another bulkplate ring that...

The Quinatious is a based on a MadCow 4" Squat kit with a 38mm mount. The body tube was slotted for five fins instead of three. It will make me learn some new things. An 8" MMT in a 12" BT doesn't even let the nose cone seat properly. So i'll be whacking off the base and part of the nose...

Picked up my new MadCow Quinatious. So here's the start. 1 rocket 2 build that's #3 in the build order with 4" BT and 5 fins of fury. Gotta say I think it looks really mean with my PML parabolic tipped nose cone sitting on it.

Actually, my initial thought was masking tape, paint it with JB, let dry, JB on the Estes retainer. Really in the long game, I don't want to lose a 24/40 or 24/60 set of hardware. Hence the reason I asked.

Thanks for the input. Paper and CA it will be.

I have a Madcow Mini Squat with a thin wall 24mm MMT. The Estes 24mm retainer system is large for the tubing OD. Any suggestions how I should build up the MMT so that I can JB Weld the Estes retainer in place? Thanks!

Sorry to hear. When you said hard opening I assumed she didn't set her slider properly. But her husband said she had a good canopy and then "diver error". Sounds like a low turn.

Yes, you need to convert dynamic energy into impact work. Fmax = 2 (M)(V) / (slow down distance)

Sorry for the name mishap :facepalm: It's probably something I'm overthinking so I search and then ask questions for clarification. Since it's a parabolic nose cone it's also much shorter than a Ogive which even furthers your match head comparison. I was just noticing the plastic PML is so...

If no one is shooting at you, white is definitely the way to go in the desert. And a hydration bladder. Pro tip is to get an insulator for the bladder.

Is there any rule of thumb for a BT diameter to nose cone shoulder length ratio? I have a 4" parabolic nose cone that has a 5.25" shoulder. I bought the nose cone from Madcow because I saw it there and it looked cool (and I saw Nytriders build thread the day after I saw the nose cone) don't...

The first guy Douggs I know well. I also knew his Aussie buddies Slim (RIP) and Coombsey (RIP) The girl wingsuiting Baffin is Melissa Andrzejewski. Know her well. She's a professional acrobatic pilot. Youtube those videos, she's sick. Pretty sure Jimmy Hall died on that particular Baffin...

DB Cooper was involved in MACV SOG and that's why he's never been caught. CIA sandbagged the case. Sport parachuting was relatively unknown at the time, and no sport parachutist was going to possess the know how to drop the rear stairwell let alone have the gumption to jump. Regular army...

Interesting. Well if I fail with Montana Gold I'll try the Molotow. Molotow was obviously what I was originally going after, but I read so many good things about Montana Gold, they have the whole system of primers/paints/metallics/coatings that work together and I found a place to scoop it...
