I Knew the Stinger would make one heck of a Cluster conversion candidate and as it went I'm sure you'll agree it sure does.
With our fairly new MMX-II-NE (sorta booster) motors we have a perfect opportunity to get a lot better altitude from this classy looking model.
Adding a couple 1" sections of T2+ and Epoxy coated ends of T2+ balsa blocks a bit of careful circle cutting two new ports in the rear bulkhead and reducing the Main fin span by the width of the booster motor tubes and standoff. AND CUTTING THE REQUIRED 1.5" FROM THE T3 BODY TUBE. we only added .5g of mass to the overall vehicle. Just to be sure we didn't alter the CP/Cg relationship I dropped in 5 #9 shot to the hollowed out Nosecone along with a 90lb kevlar loop and a tad bit of epoxy.
Finished this one with the same Rustoleum Silver metallic metal flake base and Copper flake accents.
For the first flight, I used pyrogen tipped Q2 igniters and my rangebox relay setup just to be sure. had Better 2/3rds and daughter watching along with my grandson and quite a few club members. 5..4..3..2..1...WOW! it was just GONE! teleported to about 130+ feet, popped the streamer and was well on the way backdown before anyone saw it! Talk about your head snapper! All I got was a smoke trail....WOW now that was WAY KEWL!!!
