I know they have everything on order from the supplier

Got the email saying my order shipped today! Gonna take a lot of willpower to not be constantly refreshing the tracking

That was one of the largest boxes we have sent through the post office .

My order arrived at a ‘facility in Canada’ yesterday morning. I am only checking 2-3 times every day

Big box arrived today! Kitten approves! Looking forward to unpacking and doing a dry fit a bit later.

You got to post a picture of the biggest box ever.

A big thank you to @WILDMANRS!

Unboxed and dry fit the Ultimate Wildman! It's too tall to stand upright in the house! Shown next to my 3" Punisher (my previous certification rocket) which looks tiny in comparison. Maiden flight and level 4 (Canadian equivalent to level 3) certification will hopefully happen in early September. I'm planning to do a build thread for it over in the HPR forum.

Looks like a lot of fun.

Question for @WILDMANRS or anyone with experience flying Wildman Ultimate kits. What size for eyebolts/u-bolts/quick links, etc is most appropriate? Is 1/4" sufficient or should I go with something bigger?

I used 5/16” u bolts which were likely overkill but weight wasn’t an issue to me. 1/4” quick links

Spot on for a long 6" bird.

 

[mtnmanak]

In the Ebay and Nosecone bays, I used 3/8"-16 U-bolts on my DS Ultimate build, but that was overkill. I just happened to have the 3/8" bolts and plates on hand from another build. In the upper CR ring, I used 5/16" welded eye-bolts I got from Teddy at Onebadhawk when he made the bridle. I have 6 flights on the rocket now with no issues.

We just had a meeting with the Aerotech Brass and the original 12 week lead time estimate appears to be pretty close to accurate and think the order should be completed by the first week of march.
The first shipment is already on the road to us with another one going out Monday.

 

[troj]

Mmmmmmm.... I wonder what of mine is in one of those shipments.

I’m sure it’s in one of them

Finished the Punisher Sport today.View attachment 501342
On the rocket rack in the garage ready for the next launch.

View attachment 501343
Next up: 3" Punisher with reverse color scheme. Should be a visually fun pair.

Looking forward to launching both at an upcoming launch. There is a J135W in the 3" Punisher's future - 6.8 sec burn, apogee at 6,300 ft.

 

[WILDMANRS]

We received the last shipment of height temp 3” and 54mm cones today and we should have the carbon Mach 2 and 3’s boxed up for Monday pickup.
Unfortunately the pallets of propellant are taking about 10 days for delivery each time

Hi Mr G, I’m curious what your all up weight, and top of launch rail speed is estimated for the J135? That sounds awesome!

 

[Mr G]

From Open Rocket: mass with motor 7.92 lbs, velocity of rail 23.6 mph. It'll go up on a low wind day.

Anyone else having trouble logging into their Wildman account? It looks like they added Captcha security to the login and when I click on the pictures and hit verify, it just keeps recycling to a new Captcha without logging in. I tried a couple different browsers and cleared my cache, but still getting the issue. Wanted to see if this was a problem other people were seeing before I try more trouble shooting, thanks.

 

[Zman1961]

I logged into my account last night, no Captcha showed up, but it did take two tries.

Yes, very yes, persistent issue it seems.

 

[mtnmanak]

I understand the need for merchants to secure their websites - cybersecurity is extremely important. But, Captchas are horrible, especially the image ones. There has to be a better way.

 

[jmasterj]

I've been getting CAPTCHAs every time I log in for the 9 months I've been ordering from them. Never had to do more than one, though.
