So, I bought a TLP Sparrow kit...waited about 5 weeks for it.... and it arrived smashed. Awesome. When I opened up the package and dumped out everything on my bench... instantly I thought to my self... there is no way this is going to work for what I had in mind. So my TLP experience didnt last long. Long story short, I played with the file in OR as much as I could to make it as real as a build as possible.
Added a longer MMT with baffle system
Balsa tail cone
Scaled the fins 1/2 in. bigger than stock
Increased the weight
Added nose cone weight
Added a few 3/16 CR
36in chute
3:1 plastic nose cone
3/16 ply fins
Single deploy with Chute Release at the nose
29/40-120 thru 29/720 and SU engines.
BMS 2.6 standard body tubes
Increased length to 52in.
Can you guru's go over this file and let me know what I am missing or not doing right? My Nose and tail cone get here tomorrow and I want to get cracking on this ASAP... Thanks in advance.
