***ANNOUNCEMENT***

Due to time and technical issues the Rainmaker project will not be completed THIS weekend. However the Project Red Eye crew plans to continue the work on and finish this by the end of the week. Best way to put it is that the current way to complete this is with a half-assed "chop shop" type of modification and that is not in accordance to the quality standards set here. If it's going to be done, it best be done right. The first time!

PROGRESS UPDATE: thursday, 12:25am

PROGRESS UPDATE: Sunday, 7:25am

More work finally able to get done with the Rainmaker. Fitting the mQ valve in there! Again THANK YOU PBX for the overnight of the mQ valve. We'll be getting some use out of it like crazy.

First fabrication, making it so it sits and seals properly. These were made for cockers, and the inside of a rainmaker is big enough to stick your fist through. Had to improvise with customization you only see here at Red Eye! Or... anywhere else probably. But at least not live! So take THAT Milwaukee.

Basically having a sleeve to fit the mQ into, and the sleeve into the rainmaker. It's bound to work. Works for timmies :)

Presto! We're getting major progress. Soon enough we'll be able to hook this up to the E-Blade frame and fire away. Just need some more details worked out, all in due time.

Okay so scrap the E-Spyder one, too easy of a project. Not a challenge worthy of such an awesomeness that is us. So kick it into overdrive and we have our new mystery hidden double secret probation project. A Rainmaker with an mQ valve! This valve was overnighted to us on Friday, arrived today by the guys at PBX. Wow, thank you guys a bunch!

I'll update this after we work out the little kinks and get the minor details in order.

*Edit*

Here are some pictures of a little progress. Most work has been done with the internal of the valve sealing against the body, not easy to take a picture through the body! That and starting to cut/solder some wires together. Not very photo worthy yet, but I think a video file of it firing will be much more satisfying!
