I think I am over building my rockets. I used Fixit epoxy on my Apogee Aspire even though I never intend it to go over Mach one. I put Fixit epoxy clay on a small 18 mm Apogee Blue streak. I want to build well crafted rockets but I fear I am going beyond their need. Please tell me less is more.
Now I am working on an Orion Transport 24mm. I put a ton of diluted Minwax wood filler on the fins and am working with my dremel and hand saning 99 percent of it off. for a rocket I will put no more than an F30FJ-8 engine in. Yea, according to Apogee website it could go over 1200' but is it overbuilt? Fixit epoxied filleted wings, wood filler. Spent a day sanding. Am I wasting my time for no return.
The Orion Transport is classified by Apogee as a mid engine rocket.
Perhaps I am just getting impatient?
