Being unemployed sucks, but luckily I have a DEEP build pile. Monday I started my Super Big Bertha re-issue and today it is ready for paint.
One rocket that I have had laying around half finished for a few years is a Semroc Omega with a BoosterVision digital camera in the payload section. I finally finished the payload and it turned out pretty good, hell, I'll probably post pics.
Now, some questions I pose to you nerds - I have some misgivings about the 1/8" lugs. In two stage config this thing weighs around 8 oz dry, in one stage config it weighs around 6.5 oz dry. Semroc's motor recommendations are C11-0 to C11-5, D12-0 to D12-5, and D12-0 to E9-6, but that is for a bird without a ~2 oz camera. I think for the first flight I'll run a single stage D12-5, and then maybe an AeroTech E15-7 (also single stage) before going on to staging.
Am I thinking straight here? And also, what do you fellas think about E15 or even E30 motors in this rocket off an 1/8" rod?
