I am part way through the Wildman Extreme build. Everything is proceeding well.
The payload section is put together, lots of holes have been drilled, and the motor mount is now complete.
The motor mount seems a little on the short side, but I guess it's fine that a motor stick out. The kevlar is going to be very close to the fins. I suppose that's ok.
I am planning on putting a better beveled edge on the fins using a mill. I could alternatively, not. Or I could alternatively CNC a real airfoil on the fins, much like the Space Cowboy. This would involve a radial taper over the whole fin and sharp tips. Decisions.
Anyway here are some pictures.
