OK..I flew my Foray twice on a C11-5.Thats the only 2 times its flown. Has a BT50 main tube. Thing is its allready cooked. The outside primer is bubbled and the tube is very tender at that spot.You can see the inside is chared and cooked. I figure I can slide a BT50 coupler in it and save it.My question is..should I have done this in the first place and is this normal for what I call a min dia rocket? Thing that bothers me is ,I have kits that have a BT50 main that run 24mm in them.Are they going to do the same thing after just a few flights on them. The kits dont call for any coupler/reinforcement above the end of motor.I know in the future any build designed like this ,Ill reinforce them above end of motor. Any thoughts,clues about this issue?
