Hi all, I am starting to build the Little Dog DD 54 for my L2 (it's going to be an energetic flight...) and I was hoping to get some feedback on my design, specifically how and where I am choosing to attach the bulkheads.
I figured I'd take the two, green stepped bulkheads and use them as end plates for the middle coupling section, which will be my avionics bay. I was thinking of attaching them via a threaded rod through the coupler.
I then figured I'd use the one black, non-stepped bulkhead at the bottom of the nose cone coupler. It fits loosely in the ID of the coupler and I'm not quite sure how to attach it best. Could someone provide some advice on that as well?
Lastly, I figured I'd epoxy the shock cord to the motor mount. Or, since I'd actually like to add some weight to the rocket, I might do another bulkhead and bolt it in radially, somewhere between the motor and the AV bay and attach the shock cord there. I plan on having eye bolts/nuts in all of the bulkheads for other shock cord attachment points.
I've attached a photo of the general setup as I see it. If anybody could provide some insight, that would be much appreciated! :smile:
