MLC Jet Pack retired...New one on way...

I found a good pic of the beacon; I know a few aluminum-workers make a 3-tier design, but the 'real deal' has four. :)

Thanks to Brak's Buddy for the reference shot.

You could paint my new when i get it. :)
If it would make you happy, sure.
Now, if i "accidentally" ship my pack to you instead, you wouldn't hold it against me would you?;)

That would be the best Christmas anyone could have.

Hey guys!
My apologies for not visiting TDH lately as I'm involved with a lot of projects that its hard to go online to hang-out.
Anyway, yes the old molds are showing its age & we're about to remold anew. Unfortunately, I only have a small window of opportunity to work on this, thus I would be electing Rex to gather some info, pics & other references to aid me in this endeavor in just 1 week. Due to the time constraints, if you have close-up pics of the actual jet pack - kindly send them to either me or Rex so I could expedite the work on it asap. I'm sorry for the rush, but its all the time I could invest on it before we mold it.
My email: mlcallanta@yahoo.com

Also, I would be trading off the first version 2 prototype - so check out the "Cargo Bay" in the next few weeks :)

As always, thank you all for your kind consideration in helping us achieve a better product!

folllow the link...great pics here: http://www.gotmaulkreations.com/gallery/MLC-REVISIONS-05

and more coming from SEEKER in the next couple of days...

Also, please take your time with the revisions. I am not going to assume to speak for everyone here, but given your track record of dedication and service, I believe allowing time for you to TRULY accurize this thing is well worth waiting for- especially given the competitive circumstances , where accuracy has become a benchmark factor to even be in the game.

In sum, please take your time, get it right and put out the most accurate pack out there.

However, I did not see a vote for the vents on the bottom of the center tank. The vents on the current MLC run front to back, while the vents on the real pack run side to side. Can you add this comparison to you voting site?

Gator

Has anyone discussed this already? :eek: From what I can see, it depends on the pack you're making. The pre-pros go one way and some other packs go the other way. The front-back vents have a differently shaped vent form with a small lip around it while some side-side examples are simply a flat looking plate with vent lines. Take your pick.

Looking forward to seeing the new pack!!!!

Heya everybody!

I'd like to thank each and everyone for all your help. Mardon is hard at work already (I'll be posting a WIP pic soon) and he's got all of Seeker / GotMaul's info as well.

Sorry I haven't been around the last few days, I've had a deal at work that needed to get done, and it's been all-consuming. A tremendous amount of effort nearly was down the tubes (4 months worth), it took all my resources and diplomacy to get it accompished. :)

But, it's done. :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers

So, I'll be able to get to all my PM's...:eek: There's alot of them, so please be patient.

take care all, and

Merry Christmas!

-Rex
