Dan,

I am always impressed. You do top notch work.

Thanks Chuck. I've done nothing to this point, it's all printer and lathe...

 

[rstaff3]

I'll take one if one of the 19 are still available.

Dan- when do you want money?

Also, there are no centering rings in these right? Just motor mount inside of body tube?

Yup, 24mm tube is a pretty tight friction fit inside the garolite.

Hey guys - busy weekend so I didn't get to the fins yet, but I did get everything I need to finish up...except time.

dhbarr is correct, the ID of the phenolic is 1.00" and BT-50 is a slip fit inside. There's a tolerance on the OD of the paper and the ID of the phenolic that occasionally results in an interference fit that requires a slight peel of the BT-50. No biggie as the tube is only there as an "adapter" for the 24mm motors. I plan to leave it out on mine so it will accept my Kosdon 1.0-35 for E40F's.

I'll be sending PM's in order of reservations when I am ready to ship, and I have more boxes on the way. I don't believe in taking money before I have a product ready to ship.

A message was sent to the first people who raised their hands and accounted for the 20 count first run. I have commissioned CNC cutting for the fins and will have enough for an additional 26 kits. I receive the fins on April 29th.

I will post in the vendors section once I have the next run of kits complete and ready to ship. Thanks for everyone's interest, and I am extremely pleased that Mach Busters will be plentiful very soon!

Is anyone crazy enough to build a 2 stager of these?

Is anyone crazy enough to build a 2 stager of these?

It would be very difficult to do. Estes-style "whoosh-bang" staging with BP motors would be a high flight but pretty boring compared to a single stage G motor flight. Composite staging with electronics would require a VERY intricate nose cone or interstage with tiny electronics and a very dense e-bay. You could make it longer to alleviate some concerns, but then you're talking custom order.

 

[dhbarr]

g65 to e9 chad-staging doesn't seem impossible; actually observing it might be.

I Have ran a sim for this BP . Yes build something that will not be recovered. It's a cool sim but will not do it .may be a 29mm up scale, that's possible

 

[patelldp]

As promised, all kits that were paid for went out today! I will be adding these to my web store this week, bookmark https://easyresearchrocketry.rocketryspot.com or shoot me a PM if you're interested!

I have never bought anything from Dan. Got two rocket vision mach buster clones with some extras . Wow the work he put into them . And a note in the box great vendor I will buy from him again even if his price is more than some one else. But don't think that will happen . Thanks Chris

 

[djs]

So what are people going to use on these? Rail buttons? Some sort of mini tower launcher or fly away guide?

 

[chris m]

I'm thinking fly away

 

[chris m]

But it came with a lug

Chris,

Thanks for the kind words, and thank you for your patience while I had the fins made. Happy to have you as a customer!

Got mine today. Man I love these. I had a couple of the old Rocketvision kits and I have always wanted more. Thanks for the opportunity Dan. Good stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoy flying them!

Are these still about? I had the check Six and wish I still had it

 

[cwbullet]

Dan: have you thought about making a 29 or 38 mm model?

No, I have not. I've been doing very little with rocketry as of late, but am able to churn out clone MB kits if there's interest.

 

[cwbullet]

I would say there is. Anyone else?

 

[Steve Shannon]

I’d be interested in a 29 mm MB.

 

[Eric]

I’d be interested in a 29 mm MB.

+1 for a 29mm.

Are you all seeking an ever-so-slightly upscaled Mach Buster that flies on 29mm motors? The original (and my clone offering) has a 1.125" OD, which is the same as a 29mm motor or coupler. I can investigate sourcing 1.125" ID tubing to use for a slightly upscaled Mach Buster.

Yes. Thank you!

Yes

Parts are on order for 9 kits, will take me at least a week to print/cut all necessary parts.

PM with interest.
