I've acquired another used/rebuild. PML AMRAAM 4. Its quantum tubing with G10 fins. The aft fins are full length ttw. The forward canards are semi ttw. They were designed to go through the airframe and attach to the coupler.
I want an a/v bay. My plan is to wax paper wrap a coupler and insert it into the payload section. Then I'll put epoxy into the slots and set the fins. Afterwards they'll receive external fillets and the inside of the tube will be smoothed for the coupler to slide in and out as a removable a/v bay.
Assuming I prep the surface properly, and I use a quality epoxy, how much stress would you think it could survive? Could it survive Mach 1? Maybe 1.5? I really want to test this things limits without shredding it. How far would you be willing to push it?
