I'm building a fiberglass Madcow (wildman) X-celerator. It's a split fin rocket. The motor mount tube that comes with the kit seems to be about a 1/4 inch to short. Or maybe I just built it wrong. Anyway, on the motor mount tube I have the top centering ring followed by 6 through the wall fiberglass fins epoxied to the motor mount. I'm left with just barely enough motor mount tube to put on an aeropack 54mm retainer. If I add in the aft centering ring, the retainer will have very little real-estate to JB weld on to. My question is, with all the fins holding the motor mount in place, do I really need the aft centering ring? Just wondering.
That would make it a Scottish rocket with the up the kilt wind blowing. Without the aft centering ring there's lotsa room to stick a camera in there.
