A 75mm large M has a decent shot at >35k. I’d definitely sim it with RASaero and see what it says.

Dont know. Have not simmed it yet. 😕 Didnt know how much it would weigh finished. I assumed it would be fine. ??

Very, very cool.Is this flyable at NCR, or do you need somewhere like LDRS this year or Black Rock?

Very nice Scotte, that looks screaming fast!

Very…..Veeerrryyy cool

Seems I’ve been posting and I also replied to your last PM… I’m alive and well and waiting for some machining to be done. Soon Scott, soon….

I just checked my shed, didn’t see him in there, hehe.

Hey guys,So i’m still curious, do we think the plug in the motor will hold 1/2″ of 1/4-20 threaded rod?ThanksNo I dont! Its composite. At least I would not trust it! There is a Blind nut you dont see in…   Read more»

Hey,I cut 1/2″ piece of 54mm coupler with a bulkhead on the on the aft side. Bulkhead will do 2 things, 1- hold anchor for lanyard to forward rocket section, with the all thread sticking out the aft side. 2-…   Read more»

What is on the other side of your all thread? I find for short lengths (<1" long) I trust inset hex set screws. You can tighten them down with an allen wrench and then screw what you want onto that.Obligatory…   Read more»

Thanks for the input Bear. That’s about what it looks like to me, but I figured I’d ask. I was surprised CTI didn’t have the specs. on there site. I cut a few different sizes of all-thread to bring with…   Read more»

I have no expereince with this casing, but looking at the CTI website, you are going to have a minimum of 0.60 inches of thread in the end for you to screw into. Looking at one of the other cut-aways,…   Read more»

I think I will just stick to “using those big honkin’ eyenuts”Besides It was JW that turn me onto them a couple years ago.It was his post with a link.I use them all the time – but usually in bigger…   Read more»

about just passing the Kevlar through the plug, tying it to a washer, and epoxying the whole thing in place. This would eliminate the eye bolt entirely. The only down side (assuming it would work), is that you’d have to…   Read more»

For 29mm and 38mm birds, I have long used “wire” eye bolts or screws. What I do is weld the loop closed with my little tiny 125A wire-feed welder. Takes 5 seconds to do the weld, and 2 hours to…   Read more»

Hey,That is about what I’m thinking too, Bear. The jam nut might be a little tricky though, there will be a bulkhead in the way, but I would like to think i won’t need it. That is a smoking deal…   Read more»
