Hey all. I came across 6' of Hawk Mountain 54mm fiberglass tubing I bought awhile back. Also found an Acme fincan that Giant Leap lightened up. Just need a good nosecone and a motor retainer to make an easy semi-bullet proof minimum diameter rocket project. Only thing I have no idea how well the Acme fincan will hold up to heat once you start getting into crazy fast motors (Cesaroni K1440). I have an image of a lump of plastic at the end of a fiberglass tube like a big lollipop when I eventually find it.
Sim I ran last night says it can get Mach 2 with the right motors and trimming the length down. I have no idea how accurate that is but seems like an easy project to find out. Anyone know how well the Acme fincans hold up? Been eyeballin' the Max Q wares for awhile too. Seems that would be better suited for things up to an L2300 (don't blink). Any recommendations based on usage? I almost want to do a fincan performance test to see how well they do against each other.
