I've been working on this project in the background for quite a while. I learned a lot from my M685 flight to 37,789' in September(Wildman Blackhawk 75). This project is will build on the foundation of that project.
My number one goal is for the rocket to survive the flight. The secondary goal is to attempt to break the Tripoli M motor record(45,554' AGL).
This rocket will be built around the CTI 75mm 6XL motor.
I'll be using the same basic nose cone altimeter bay design I used on the Blackhawk project. I've purchased the same high temperature FWFG nose cone and CF coupler that the Blackhawk comes with. The nose cone will be cut down to same OD as the coupler and attached the NC to the coupler with a machined aluminum adapter.
A turned aluminum adapter will be attached directly to the forward closure of the motor. The adapter will slide into the coupler.
The fins are the same basic design as the fins I machined for the Blackhawk. This time around I'll be machining them from 6061 T6 aluminum. I've already completed the design of the fin and the fixtures necessary to machine them. I have an 18" section of the CF tubing leftover from the Blackhawk to use as a fin can.
