How long did this take you to build. I was thinking of getting either this or the estes executioner. One other thing is how does the D engine fit in the mount is that what that string was?
The regular estes launch controller will light E motors.
The regular estes launch pad has worked ok for my Executioner on E motors. Haven't tried the Mean Machine on the regular estes launch pad, so not certain. There is a chance the height of the Mean Machine might cause the regular estes launch pad to tip over. If you stake the regular estes launchpad legs to the ground, i think it will not be able to tip over.
Thats a really good way to do a build video. Well done

is that the actual way to build it, or is that home made/modified????

Replaced manufacturer's plastic coupler with cardboard couplers. Also modified to break at midpoint, instead of at nose.

Duplicolor Mirage Ice paint kit. Looks good in the sun at less than 4 feet. Any further away, you don't really notice the effect.
