Though its a 24mm design, I thought it would be a great 29mm upscale. So with Neil's permission I went to work on her. I set out not to buy any parts for this rocket, only use what parts I have on hand.
The main bt will be a 34" bt-80, the pods will be two 15" bt-56's. All the fins are to be a glue up of two pieces of 1/8th balsa.
OK, so, I find I don't have any 29mm motor mount tubes, guess I'll have to make a mmt out out of two bt 56's. To accomplish this I sliced them down one side, cut a 1/4"or so off one of them length wise.
Got my 29mm 6 grain case out, wrapped it with clear plastic wrap, put the the cut bt on the case smeared it with JB weld and placed the second bt over the first taped it up and left it to dry over night.
