Thanks. I've still got tons of sanding and filling to go. After that, it should be smooth sailing with the painting.Looks very cool. Keep us updated![]()
I just designed it because I decided I wanted another bird is all. Rocksim says it'll push mach but I doubt it will get that close. Fiberglass just in case.Looks nice, kinda resembles The EGE's machnum force, but one question upscaler, what it's the purpose of this? Machbusting, sport, alltitude.....
PS looks like we have all started keeping track of our motor usage![]()
Get the 29/360 and you can break Mach with the I200 and H275I just designed it because I decided I wanted another bird is all. Rocksim says it'll push mach but I doubt it will get that close. Fiberglass just in case.
I really built the rocket around my 29/240 case. H power baby.
I've been keeping track of my motor usage by section,spring/fall, on YORF for a while. Figured I'd bring it here as well
I built it specifically not to fit the 29/360. I knew I would be tempted and figured it wasn't even worth it. :bangpan:Get the 29/360 and you can break Mach with the I200 and H275anyway looking nice!
Well that makes sence....... I figured there had to be a reason.... So when's the due date on this bird?I built it specifically not to fit the 29/360. I knew I would be tempted and figured it wasn't even worth it. :bangpan:
Not completely sure. Probably a few more weeks.Well that makes sence....... I figured there had to be a reason.... So when's the due date on this bird?
Because it's awesome?What is the obsession with the Deuce on TRF?![]()
I had a sneaking suspicion that had something to do with it.Because it's awesome?
No, the Fliskits Deuce's Wild is the original canted dual motor model rocket.Isn't the sunward sceamer the same thing?
They are standard PML fin-a-09. They are 1/16" thick. Good price and they are very sturdy.Did you cut your fins from G10 stock, or did you buy them pre-cut? What thickness are they?
It's looking good btw.
It uses the canted motor mounts, yes, but it was a ripoff of the original (the Deuce).Isn't the sunward sceamer the same thing?
I love how the deuce seems to hijack every thread on here.It uses the canted motor mounts, yes, but it was a ripoff of the original (the Deuce).
No need to FG the nose cone. I think the extra drag will do it some good. I don't want it to bust 700mph. Besides, few coats of primer and the dark pearl purple will hide it just fine.You could pick up some plain weave Fg cloth and fiberglass the NC to even thinngs out, If you don't it will just induce some extra drag
It's nothing that serious. It's only, MAYBE 1/32nd of an inch. Nothing too extreme. but you can tell it's not a perfect fit if you get close enough.I'm just worryed that the body tube may separate from the NC in flight via drag...... But I never took phyisics yet....Mythbusters!
Well, with the weight still needing to be added with FG near the fins. Not to mention the paint. It won't be hitting 700 mph. I may add a little filler on the NC and sand it smooth against the NC. Also, there will be a bit of drag coming from the rail buttons. I think she will be safe.Oh so about the thinkness of cardstock, but when you are going 700mph that drag is exponentialy increased, why not just sand the forward part of the BT down a little?
