Total weight = 539g, 1.11 lbs. Below is my current .ork file. The only thing off is the "eggfinder coupler" in the file. Not sure what happened there. I don't actually have the harnesses or chutes. These weights came with the "stock" .ork file. I also don't know the exact weight of the lower motor bulkhead.
The 539g comes from the manufacturer parts, plus the 3D tracking sled from shapeways and what I did to the fins...
Okay. SO much advice to ride friction fit. Would I have to epoxy a harness in?
If not then I assume I would have to use a threaded forward closure with an eyebolt?
If I don't place a bulkhead above the motor how do I ground test?
Should I just duct tape the end closed tight?:lol:
Honest question I really don't know.
Unfortunately I live in California and can't fly Loki. I'm not aware of any 38mm K motors I could use. If I didn't place a bulkhead I could potentially add a coupler and fly Loki out of state later... and the fins would for sure be beefy enough...
To be completely honest in a way I wish I didn't add a ply. But I'm living with it.
Mine came in at 1.875 lbs (30ozs) and I didn't do T2T. I used a slimline retainer for motor retention but now wish I had got with Cj's method. I would go with shear pins for sure.
