    Motor Adapter for Minimum Diameter Rocket

    Looking to build my first minimum diameter rocket. Currently thinking of the Mad Cow 2.2 Go Devil. It of course takes a 54mm motor. I was planning on epoxying a 54mm minimum retainer and then utilizing Aero Pack extenders for different 54mm case lengths. I would also like to use 38mm motors in...

    L-2 Build Thread / MadCow Rogue

    Andy, The Rogue turned out really nice, would have liked to see it fly on the two day launch. I just just finished a 4" fiberglass Madcow Super DX3 that I was going to maiden at that launch. I was going to take my written L2 test that weekend too. Hope to see you at the next launch, whenever...

    Altimeter Vent Hole Location

    Hi, Just started laying out my fiberglass 4" DX3 for drill holes (launch lugs, vent holes) Where is the proper location for the vent holes in the payload bay? I know to stay away from other objects to facilitate clean airflow, but there seems to be several schools of thought on the placement...

    MMT Hard Point

    Jim, Thanks for the input. As this is my first fiberglass build I am just a little concerned about the top CR on this kit. It is only 1/16" thick and only 13/16" between inner and outer circumferences. It is just so much thinner the the wooden centering rings I am used to. I guess I am probably...

    MMT Hard Point

    Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. What you are saying makes good building sense. I really enjoyed your Youtube Drago build. I have watched each episode 2X. The Drago will probably be my next rocket after the DX3 gets built. I am actually flying today in Plant City Florida with my...

    MMT Hard Point

    Hello, Just ordered a Madcow Super DX3 Fiberglass kit. In this build, I prefer not to drill into the top CR to attach a shock cord eyebolt for recovery. Seems like drilling a 1/4" TO 5/16" hole in the top fiberglass CR will dramatically weaken it. And I'm not too fond of the method of epoxying...

    MAC Black Fly

    gfunk, I can't thank you enough for the sim file for the Black Fly. Now I know how to proceed. Thanks even more for the flight video, I've watched it 3 times. That has to be one of the best flights I have ever seen. Gives me some incentive. LOL Best Regards, Brian
