Today I got my newest kit, a MAC Performance 3" Rayzor. It is about 73" tall with split fins and I chose the 54MM MMT. Here's what it looks like on the vendor's site:
This is my first kit from MAC Performance and so far I'm impressed. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived today. It arrived well packed and all of the parts look to fit very well with minimal sanding required. Here are pictures of the kit out of the box:
And here's the obligatory dry fit picture:
All of the parts I've checked so far are very well machined. For example the fins all fit snugly right out of the box with no sanding required. Also, the e-bay arrived loosely assembled inserted into one of the tubes and it fits well enough that when I moved it the air pressure from moving it caused the nose cone to slide out the other end.
For now I'm planning to use Aeropoxy Epoxy for the structural joints and an AeroPack motor retainer with a flange that will transfer thrust directly to the lower centering ring which is stepped so that it acts as a thrust plate. I haven't decided on the color scheme yet, but, so far I'm considering something along the lines of a dark/golden yellow. Unfortunately, it may be a while before construction begins because I've got a few other project I need to get done first. I'm hoping to have the Rayzor ready for a seriously high flight at LDRS36.
