Well, my Estes S.W.A.T didn't fly well on the C6-3 I used, augering in before it had a chance to deploy.
The good news is that the damage is minimal - A minor crimp in the body tube, 3 inches from the nosecone.
As I've already replaced the front half of this rocket, I would prefer not to cut the tube, or graft on another one. The camo paint job and decals were a bit of work.
So - how to fix the damage?
After it's straight, I can coat the with CA. Preferred.
Or, I can force a coupler down there, and hope the 'chute gets out past it. I'd bevel the coupler edges to give myself a little better chance.
So, how to get the tube to relax a little, so I can pull out the divot, and it can dry straight and neat?
