Hi all,
Finally got to fly my Wildman 4" V2 this past weekend and wanted to come brag about it. This is my first fiberglass build and it was my first successful use of dual deploy (the Hyperloc in my avatar is barkdust).
Here is the build:
I started with this pile of parts:
I followed these instructions and found some black and orange spray paint (Go Beavs!) and made this!:
Here she is on the pad:
So after about 6 months of what was actually a very slow build, a surprisingly difficult masking tape job for paint, a successful battle with launch fever in May (brought it all the way to the desert but wasn't comfortable with no nose weight and I hadn't tested ejection), she finally flew on a CTI J430 White Thunder this weekend. Perfect flight, perfect recovery. Can't wait to put a bigger motor in it.
Cheers!
