Hey guys and gals!
I'm Jim and I'm new here. I'm a long time rocketeer, and I'm looking to graduate from C-D engine kit builds to my own large MPR custom builds.
What do you suggest as far as getting started? I'm basing my design on a 6ft tall, 6 inch diameter cardboard tube.
What material is best for fins?
Where can I get engines larger than D?
What formulas are available for thrust/weight ratios to make sure the engines I buy will lift my rocket?
Have any of you build models that film launches with onboard camera systems?
All help would be greatly appreciated! I'd love for you all to introduce yourselves, we can be pals!
