PTERODACTYL+

*** Under Construction ***

My latest project is a 7.5 inch PML Pterodactyl that I am adding a 3 ft section to the front for dual deployment recovery. In addition, I am adding 3 outboard 38mm motor mounts to the standard central 54mm mount for air-starting. I will update this page as I make more progress.
