True 😆 As for weight, after looking at the design of that rocket, you'd probably be fine as is - no noseweight needed (especially with the CF).

I could make some (pure) CF plate up for you if you wanted - it's pretty easy, and the cost would run about ~$20-$25 for enough roughly .062" thick plate for that rocket (more than adequate for almost...

That should be a good choice. G10 fins might be a good idea, although wood would work.

Well, seeing as I'll be walking the grassland a lot this weekend looking for my SSS, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Sounds like a plan, although I vastly prefer the 38mm H123 to the H180. The longer burn is nice, and the wider and shorter case is easier to clean. Either one will be nice. Will you be at the November...

The file I posted should be compatible - it is a .eng and I can open it in my trial of spacecad with no difficulty. Try it... Also, if you post .eng data, rocksim can use it. They are mutually compati...

Can you post the .eng that you've been using? I'd love to see it, just to compare it with the one I've been using. I know about the bad data talk, but that sounds like REALLY bad data. Here's the Aero...

930? How on earth... Mine sims at 830, and it is lighter and (theoretically) less draggy than yours... That sounds like bad motor sim data to me... As for the rocksim question - it has a feature where...

I realize that. Mine has quite a high ballistic coefficient though, and keep in mind that I have smaller fins. Rocksim says that I have optimum mass, though we'll have to see... Should be interesting,...

13.5 😯 😯 😯 Mine is at what simmed to be optimum mass for me, which is 8.6 oz with motor. How did you get 13.5 oz of rocket? At least yours will be easier to track off the pad... 🙄

Nope - I too heard about it, but nothing further. I'd love to see the case in it, for a couple of reasons. One, that was my case, and if it is salvageable, I'll take the forward closure (it's plugged)...

It'll be an interesting comparison between mine and yours... My finish is relatively crude compared to yours (from the sound of it), but on the other hand, the ultralight cf allowed me to shrink the f...

Oh - I'm keeping a little. I have a LOT though in comparison to the size needed for fins, and it was relatively easy to make. If I needed more for next year, I could use $10 worth of CF and $4 of epox...

Good luck to you too, and by the way, if anyone wants some 0.035" CF plate, I have some left over. I'll give it away to the first taker at the next launch - I have 2 pieces. They are both the same thi...

Oh yes - that part is guaranteed 🙂 Mine sims at ~43 gees off the pad - should be interesting trying to track it with no flame or smoke... 😆
