I'm on the final stretch of getting my PML BBX ready for an L2 cert flight at NARAM. I started this rocket a long time ago (think years and years) and it sat about 3/4's finished until earlier this year.
I'm thinking through where I want to make the breaks at this point based on how the construction was started. In the picture below, option "B" was my original thinking, but I'm starting to wonder if the 68" airframe section in the middle might be a problem since the attachment points are both buried deep at both ends. So I came up with option "A" where I leave a section of the tube with the fin can. (Lengths may look funky due to couplers being exposed/hidden between the options.)
The electronics are in the middle where the little fins are. Anticipated altitude according to Rocksim is about 1543' on a J350W.
Maybe it doesn't matter...any thoughts?
