Its that wonderful time of year when I crash big rockets. This one's the biggest and crash-iest of them all. Since last year's project went so well gavel Manny and I are building an even bigger one.
The design is pretty simple.
98mm 6g xl flying case. All composite fincan, FWFG Conical NC, Conical coupler that bolts onto the front of the motor case, Raven and SL100 in the AV bay, RF tracking, cable cutter deployment.
The motor will be about an 17,500ns N3500 72/10 propellant, but I think Manny is more qualified to talk specifics about that.
As for performance, I'm expecting velocites in the mid M3 range and 40,000 - 50,000 feet.
Crossing my fingers to have this done by Aeronaut. It might be hard because I also have to juggle college stuff, friends, and working 10-12 hours a day in a metal shop. I only have 2 months to build! :shock:
