After my previously failed L3 attempt I decided to finally build the rocket of my dreams, an all carbon 76mm minimum diameter rocket (well except for a filament wound fiberglass VK nosecone). For the certification flight it will be flying on a Loki M1200 (a baby M) keeping it below mach 2 and around 20K. The second, and the much more interesting flight will be on a Loki M3464. Open Rocket and Rasero both are in agreement on on a peak altitude around 50K. I'm not as optimistic, but what the hell, either way this thing is going high.
Here is the preliminary design. High temp epoxy on EVERYTHING (TG 290F), 3 layers tip to tip carbon, ablative added to all leading edges, 60" total length blah blah blah..
I apologize in advance for a likely sloppy post, this will be my first thread on TRF.
I will be updating this regularly as I make progress on this build. Advice is certainly welcome. Oh and this will be for Aeronaut 2015.
