So, I call this one Big Purple.
Full length LOC 2.14 air frame
Custom 3D printed nose cone, tail cone and rail button stand offs.
The 4 engine cluster is 3 canted 18mms and one center 24mm
The 3 canted motors are plugged and the 24mm is used full through for deploy
Notice the close up of the tail cone - My son did some fantastic 3D modeling there to pull off all the angles and curves.
The canted motors angle matches to the center of mass within a cm or 2 - in an effort for really straight flight.
The entire body and fins are covered in carbon fiber look vinyl wrap. - not a single drop of paint
First flight the center 24mm didn't fire (yep, not enough boost and no parachute deploy) The entire rocket survived (nose cone included).
Flight 2 was all engines go! (3-C6s and 1-D12)
