New Boy Toy: a MHz 6.5G - MegaHurtz - 12-21-2019
Woo hoo!

Got the last of the parts in today. Excited to try this 28" build out. With the RLGS, and the obnoxious amount of dwell imputed, I'm half expecting issues, but hoping not. Time will tell...
Worst case, either plug the port and move it out, or cut the bbl back to 24", if I can't get things under control.
Regardless, Santa was nice to me this year.

Looks like a nice build, hope it serves you well. That a 2006 in the background?

Hopefully it works as good as it looks! What rail did you use on that smoke pole? Oh and is that your daily driver behind it?

Looking to start barrel break-in over the holidays, if the weather cooperates.
Good eye on the Tecnam - it's a special mission platform were completing for a SOUTHCOM partner nation (ISR/MPA payload, FMS program).

Indeed. I too am hoping for same.
The rail is built into the Luth-AR 15" HG that came with the complete upper I ordered from Satern/Liberty.
Re daily driver, not hardly. :o We be wurkin on it, however, doing mods under a USG program. The hangar is a nice after-hours shop - much better than the hotel room I've been in since July (raises fewer eyebrows).

Nice rifle! Extra long barrel for shooting from the Tecnam P2006T?

Double Naught Spy Wrote:Nice rifle! Extra long barrel for shooting from the Tecnam P2006T?LOL! The host platform's payload capacity is maxed out with just the systems and equipment on board. Going to have to trade fuel for occupants. I don't think it could handle the extra weight of that long arse bbl.

It would be interesting to see what powder burn rates work best and how fast you can go with the case volume.
The Technam wants a couple of PT6A’s. Just reinforce the spars. It’ll be fine.

The Rotax engines (mogas/100LL) sip a mere 6 gph combined (@ best endurance cruise), not 75 gph per side. With a 50 usg capacity, it might be able to go wheels up, just to have to enter the pattern. :o

Yeah, I'm also interested in playing with different recipes to see what this setup likes. Wondering what higher volumes of slower burning powder will yield (respecting case volume, ofc)...

damn that looks good

Nah, just a Falcon DA-2EASy driver who really likes dogs.
Thank you for your service! That is an amazing aircraft.

I do recommend a different optic however, per this post, which sums up what I am seeing.
I'll endeavor to do a build list tomorrow, or day after, if there is interest.

Re 'amazing', the Growler, the Intruder, or both?
Re 'F2K EASy driver', nice. You're a better man than I, for being a meat-servo (for all of the non-aviation types: that is a friendly term of endearment for respected pilots from avionics types like myself :o). You operate a very nice platform. We First-of-Type-STC'd a Primus EPIC CDS/R on a H800B back in the day - being an ASC for virtually all of the major avionics OEMs, of all the fully integrated suites, I'm most partial to HW flight decks. You've got a wicked nice office.!.

How did this turn out? Any issues?
