Default Binder Design Stealth Build

Well we're at it again! Haven't even flown our 2.6" Mad Cow - Tomach and off we go to the next build project.....

This time the Mad City Flyers Skunk Works is building a Binder Design 4" Stealth. Found a guy selling an old kit for 1/2 price and couldn't resist.

We are thinking that this could be the rocket for an L2 cert attempt next spring. To support an L2 motor here's the upgrades we will be making to the kit:
  • Internal epoxy fillets in addition to externals
  • Replace launch lugs with 1515 Delrin Rail Buttons
  • Dual Deploy by adding the Binder Design AV bay
  • Giant Leap Rocketry motor retainer - instead of friction fit
  • Tubular nylon recovery cord - replace included elastic ribbon

The final height should be around 6 feet with the AV bay inserted and weight around 5.5 lbs. We've already got an H178-DM for first flight.

More pics to follow as we start putting it all together!

Matt and Nate
