Hey guys. I need some answers on how to two stage a rocket with estes D engines/motors. links to youtube would be nice, or some pics. thanks a bunch!
There are two basic techniques.
- Taping the forward end of the -0 motor to the nozzle of the upper stage motor with cellophane tape and friction fitting the two in the rocket and booster.
- Gap staging where there is up to a 10" or more gap between the motors. This requires venting of the booster tube to prevent booster separation before the upper motor ignites. Search "gap staging" on TRF for lots of threads.
