I was looking at RW's stock and trying to figure out what I might buy next. I noticed the 2.6" Fire Flyer. It has a 54mm MMT! That leaves about 1/4" between the MMT and the airframe.
I simmed it on Thrust Curve, and looks like even the smallest I motors will go near mach, with all of the Js, Ks, and Ls taking it way over mach and some past Mach 2.
If I go this route and put something big in it, to the tune of 2000+ fps, what do I need to know about building it that I don't already know? How do you ensure the fins stay on with that small a fin can?
Can I build this like I would build any HPR rocket and fly it at near Mach 2?
