Sold SOLD - Mongoose CF R2 54mm (built)

[spyfly]

Since I’m selling off all my rocket stuff the time has come to separate with my built monegoose 54mm, this is a fun rocket!

It’s a rocketry warehouse rocket bought in 2015, built and flown three times, never a hard landing.

Top altitude was 12k on a CTI –K530 SS at Mach 1.3. This is a fun and fast carbon fiber rocket that will clear 20k with the right motor.

I had fallen in love until I saw the price. Too steep for my budget. Great rocket though!

OK, then I went to Madcow to see what the basic 2.2" CF kit was ... and your price is excellent! (but unfortunately still a little high for me, as is the basic kit). Good luck with your sale.

I love the mongoose kits. I had a 75 mongoose. I sold it years ago. The few crappy things about it is the carbon fiber and trackers (reasons I sold it) I had to stick the RF tracker on the shock cord so I never had single up until apogee. Unless you have a gps tracker antenna in the nose cone its hard to track it. In all reality the fiberglass version is better. IDK how much altitude you would truly gain with carbon fiber. Your asking the moon, most folks use there own electronics and recovery. Good luck its a pretty rocket

Your asking the moon

* You’re

And for all that’s included, the price is pretty fair. You can still buy it and make it your own with your own gear. Re-use the electronics and recovery gear on another project.

Good luck with the sale.

With all the stuff in it this is a crazy good deal. Wish I was ready for flying it, but alas.

Anyone else as impressed with that streamers as I am? Seriously cool and what a fantastic looking build. Hope the new owner appreciates it!
