When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Do most of you use engine hooks and motor mounts?
Member Kuirin was educating me on my introduction thread about folks using tape on the back of the engine as an engine block, and then using tape to attach the engine to the body tube.
That just seems so, well, haphazard. But I haven't launched a rocket since the mid 1980's.. so what do I know :surprised:.
But I did find an article on it in the Apogee Peak Of Flight data base.. so maybe this is a great trick for this old dog to learn?
For the scratch built X-wing I am building the tape method would allow me to use either C or D engines.. which would be nice. But I sure don't want the engine to pop out at ejection due to a tape failure.
Any sage advice for a Born Again Rocketeer is sincerely appreciated.
