MLC jet pack questions

[Star Wars Chick]

I cut out slots in the removable back and didn't need to reinforce it at all. It really is all in the angle how the straps come out and attach to your harness- you are going to want to rig it all up and get an idea of where the strap would naturally come out and attach to the harness in a relative straight line- I hope this makes sense- if not, just pm me for clarification.

it makes sense mirax. I think I'm giong to have to cut small keyholes just above where the removable piece goes. I just had them running out the top of the removable piece but that piece kept falling of and the pack would twist out and end up upside down.

Just got a MB Jet Pack kit and it seems to be 14 inches with without thrusters.

Is this the new MB pack, or old? I had the old pack and it was about 14", which was way to small, the new pack is supposed to be bigger.

My fg RA pack is 16" across.

I have got a new MB pack coming soon.

Just got it the day after Christmas. I was assuming this was the latest version when I sent payment.

I did have to email him because he forgot to include instructions. I like to have a hard copy sitting beside me, for some reason it just makes me feel better if the instuctions are beside me as I assemble something.

I know for a fact I have the most recent MB jet pack. It is 14.5" across without the thrusters.

 

[Jango Fett Jr]

Same here, 14.5"

 

[BobaFettish]

I concur that my MB is 14.5" wide as well.

 

[rknight]

all those measurements sound way to small for me......i'm a big guy, and the packs i saw at midohiocon are WAYYYYYY to small for a big guy.

:facepalm If that is the size of MB's new pack I may just be selling it as soon as I get it, My RA pack is bigger and more accurate size wise and I don't want to go smaller for my display.

I thought/assumed it was MUCH MUCH bigger then his first pack, it don't sound like it.

I'll just have to beef up the legs to handle the weight of the fg pack.

I am more interested in the diameter of the main tank pipe on all the packs.

MLC jetpack questions

You guys that have a MLC jet pack, how much does the rocket weigh? I'm considering trying to buy one to replace the VERY heavy rocket that came with the jet pack I recently bought.

 

[SEEKER]

it weighs like 3 to 4 ounces. no kidding. I have my old MLC for sell if you like. 30.00

here's the pic

I agree with 'Turo. I've not weighed mine, but it feels like next to nothing. I'd say 3 - 4 oz was a fair estimation.

Hope this helps,

Si

 

[Star Wars Chick]

Yup, I ditto that.

Wow. You got yourself a deal!

PM me and we'll settle up.

BTW, the rocket that came with my FG pack weighs about 5 pounds, maybe MORE. I'm NOT joking. It's solid resin with a wooden core.

I cannot imagine having this thing on top of my jet pack. I'd be afraid that everytime I leaned over it would pull me off-balance or something!

 

[Star Wars Chick]

OMG! My entire MLC jet pack doesn't even weigh that much!!!!!

 

[Fetthunter]

The rocket weighs more than the other parts combined! The fiberglass pack is very light. The thrusters and tank caps are also solid resin. I may recast those in FeatherLite low-density resin (should reduce the weight by 70%) *if* I can justify the price of the extra silicone I'm going to have to buy to make the molds with. :/

If nothing else, the rocket will be a great help!
