Overall Rating:
Contributed by Steve Lindeman
Brief
I was playing around with my Estes 'Big Daddy' one day when I discovered that its NC would fit the tube that my Aerotech Initiator came packed in. The decision was then made to acquire another Big Daddy and build the 3D Mega Daddy (3D MD).
Components
Only 3 components were used from the Big Daddy:
- Nose Cone
- Main Body Tube
- Motor Retention Clip
From the Initiator Starter Set:
- Just the 3" x 25.25" packing tube that the main body of the Initiator came in
The rest of the components were either handmade or came from my stock supplies. They include:
- 10' 1/4" Elastic cord
- 36" 12 Strand round pink parachute (24" 6 strand yellow hexagon in photo was before I ran the sims to find out what size I needed)
- Handmade 3" x 5" tube coupler/baffle
- 4 - 3/16" x 3" Plywood discs (2 for MM and 2 for baffle)
- 1 - #8-32 x 1-5/8 in Eye Bolt with nuts
- 4 - 1/8" Plywood fins
- 3 - 6" BT-50 tubes
- 2 Additional Estes 'E' clips
- 3 - 1/4" Motor Stops (These were cut from a used 'E' motor and not shown because I already had them installed.)
- 2 - 1/4" Launch Lugs (handmade and not shown in 1st photo)
