I upgraded the motor mount to a 24mm with "E" engine hook
and added 1.5oz. noseweight ...
just what the doctor ordered ,it flys like a dream to about 700' on an E9-6...once it levels off it sorta glides till the chute pops
thanks for all the thumbs up !
Forecheck it's a great rocket to try different ideas or finishes on,and by all means go with the 24mm upgrade, it's born for the E9 !
Sandman ,all the Sunward kits (airplanes) that use that cone are
bt-56
You did a heck of a job on your Sunward Maverick. You inspired me to pull one from my store and build it. I read some reviews on the Sunward kits and some of them have had some wild flights. Do you think the 24mm upgrade helps it to fly more stable?
I haven't tried or witnessed the 18mm version to compare it with , but I have seen a Sunward Icestorm fly with the 24mm mod and it also flys very well.
I can see where a person could go a little heavy with filler in an attempt to blend in all the tabs on the paper wraps, (like I did)
so the extra weight may be the reason for the wild flights on 18mm version.
Hey Stymye, I also noticed you're gonna build an upscale Yellow Jacket. That was one of my future projects as well. How big of an upscale and how's it going? I cloned the original, but I need to finish it(paint, decals, etc.)
