L3 Wildman Extreme

[DavidMcCann]

So this came in the mail today and I'm not sure how to make this fit....

 

[T-Rex]

That's a biggin' !!

 

[rharshberger]

Something led me to believe after the Loki post you made that you were going to try and fit that in the Screech...

Looks like its time for an Optima upscale for L3..

 

[dhbarr]

MMT nuke +'small' payload increase ( also 2x trackers ).

 

[qquake2k]

Hydraulic ram.

 

[timbucktoo]

$315 a pop!

LOL. the screech would be cool, but the Optima was my L1 so this is a bit symbolic. The Optima and Emerald Dragon will be sitting in on photos to help coach my L3 along the way. Sadly, It will not be an Optima. I picked up a Wildman Extreme for a song a couple years ago, and have been slowly and quietly piling things up in the corner. Time to make the final push. As there are ample Wildman build threads, and several L3 threads going on, this won't be so much a punch for punch build thread. More something to do while the epoxy sets up.

Yep, you're right, won't fit--feel free to send it to me .

OK, but what are you going to do with a 29mm MMT Optima?

 

[Incongruent]

Slice the tube lengthwise, remove motor mount, force the new motor in, and duct tape.

Drop it in the payload bay of my 7.5" Skyraider..

Someone has a big smile on his face, nice new toy. You do know that Binder sells his Max Q fin cans in two types of sizes, in this case, fits a 3" airframe or fits a 75mm motor.

It really doesn't look all that big...

I started looking at what I was flying and spending a year. About 20 flights on average, ranging from $20 H to $100 K flights. Having done a bunch of those, and not having done this, trading a few flights for one big one I haven't done makes perfect sense. That and moving into EX more, this makes sense- even finically. Long term? Maybe one or two loads a year in this for me.

 

[cbrarick]

there must be a hone that will core out the mmt, centering rings & fin tabs. After all, all they do is add weight and slow you down.

If that is the 76mm-8000n case, I have the same one and it is an awesome.
You can burn Loki, CTI and AT loads in it with the hub cap.
The AT M-1850 is an awesome load that kicked my 9" Patriot nearly a mile.
That load has the most Newtons per dollar without going EX.

I clicked on this thread expecting to see above picture .. you did not disappoint

naw, this is "just" the 6000. Keeping the 8,000 under our waiver would take more storage space than I currently have available.

That'd be a new way to do a two stage, lol.

I got the 6000n Kosdon case. I used it and my Loki fwd to load his awesome M650 cocktail for LDRS.
You can burn the 5 grain CTI loads and the AT M1315w and 1550R.
I got the M1315 because it's 6700+ newtons.

 

[Onebadhawk]

Now that's a beautiful case Dave...
When you strike a match to any Loki load that goes in that case it's going to ruin your mind,,, lol...

I just got yesterday the 76 / 8000 case for "SteamPunk"...
I gotta check that everything fits,, lol..

Herm... I may have found something that it'll fit in.....

 

[cbrarick]

Ultimate Wildman, nice

 

[markkoelsch]

Extreme Wildman?

Mark gets the cookie. picked this up on the yard sale...well it's not important when I picked it up.... (two years ago....)

I was thinking something similar, but with worm-drive hose clamps.

 

[DavidMcCann]

I'm really liking the size of this rocket. Large, but manageable.

 

[DavidMcCann]

time for some injection....

Yep.... it's in there. green FG is so much nicer for this than black....but I do love black...
