MIKE IX - Beta Test Complete

[flying_silverad]

A big THANKS to John McClure for his work on this project. I was honored to hear this model made it's maiden flight at NSL. And how about that cool paint job!

THANKS JOHN!!
MIKE IX...not the guy...the rocket.

Folks, having seen John's beta version at NSL, I must say - this is one cool bird. It's beefy - for those of you who have or have seen an Optima, its about that size with a cooler fin configuration.

An a 24mm to boot? You can't go wrong with this one! It's *deifinitely* on my current "wish list."

...not just 24mm....3X 24mm CLUSTER....

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is one of my new favorites. It looks cools....and flies great.

Here's the launch pic from NSL.

forgot to ask...did you usea 3/16" or 1/4" lug?

3/16" launch rod.

The kit came with both 1/8 and 3/16. I mounted them both...side by side. This way I can use either the 1/8 or the 3/16.
