    Planned First MPR Build

    I have a few spare parts laying around, including some 24mm engine mounts, so I decided to build an "E" engine powered rocket. It will be my first MPR, but I probably won't start on it until I finish my current projects, so a couple weeks maybe.
    Anyway, I decided that in order to avoid the debate about 3FNC vs. 4FNC, I would build something... different. What I came up with is a rocket that will be called: 19FNC. Yep. The name says it all. As soon as I finish tinkering with it, I'll post the Openrocket file.

    NINETEEN FINS IS THE BEST!

    Crazy looking! Just think of all the filets. Be sure to post plenty of pics of the build.

    That's exactly what I was just thinking! I was just putting fillets on a six fin job and I was getting frustrated...

    Well, at least I'll have plenty of time to do the fillets. I'm hoping to fly it on April 21st, the second soonest launch at the club near me. I thought about making the fins TTW, but all those slots would leave me with almost no tube left! Not to mention adding 57 more total cuts to making the fins. I'll hopefully start building later this week, and I'll consider doing a build thread.
