Yes, I did live in Missouri...

Someone over on FB heard about all the lawndarts that the BD has, and was asking about the mods folks have come up with.

I'm at work, and I don't have time to hunt all the ones that folks have done here. So, I'm hoping that we can put just the modifications in a single thread... Like this one.

FWIW I'm thinking that folks should also be modifying their Doorknob's and Der Big Red Max's nosecones too just to be safe.

Thanks!
 
Here is what I do for all the models listed above, Big daddy, Doorknob, 3" red max, some custom builds:
Cut bottom and ramp off of nose cone, coupler epoxied in the shoulder, bulkhead at the bottom, build up the arch section with body tube bits. Not the simplest way to do it but I like this mod a lot.
