Upgrade NowLooks great. A classic.Here's my finished Cobra clone:
4th of July Launch 2022...
I have one that looks likes yours. Flies great in a limited sized field on B6-4's and with more space C6-5's. I use a static line on mine to save the fins on landing and a lot of folks at large launches don't get the rationale of doing that to save the fins. Nose down tube on descent. Kurt
I use kevlar thread knotted and epoxied through a small hole in one wing. I attach a rubber shock cord to relieve stress and works every time. I make it so the rubber shock cord is replaceable if it begins to look worn. People who have never seen this type of deployment are amazed. I've never a fin on a K10 break doing this. It was mentioned in the instructions in the Cobra in the Vern Estes days when I was in grade school. (Am 65 now so gives the idea this is a really old modality and not new.) KurtGood idea on the static line. This flight was on three A8-3s and it did well on that. Two fins got the dinged a little on landing but really minor. It would have been fine but it came down on the only piece of concrete within a quarter mile of the launch.
i just finished building one from plans i found in in old Estes news letter i used the same paint scheme as you cant Wait to fly itI'd clustered before, but this was my first "as designed" cluster bird.
