Yesterday I began prepping the build for my 4 Madcow Patriot. All the parts arrived today and nothing appears to be broken. I was thinking of making one small change to the instructions via the placement of the aft CR on the MMT, sliding it backward 1/8 inch to allow space for my 3829 mm motor adapter, having to account for the stability later. I expect to have to add a lot of ballast to the nosecone. For price reasons I decided to go with a post-build retention system.
Its going to be flown with a CTI H135 or something of the like based on the rockets dimensions and estimated weight. I dry fitted the parts together to get a better idea of the rockets overall size. The nosecone is stubby, and the fins are particularly small. Its spiffy, just like the real thing. I'll post an OR file as soon as I can for those interested.
And for those of you who dont know me, Im friends with TRF user eggplant, so Im from southern Maine. Ive had a passion for model rocketry for several years, co-building projects primarily. Im part of the MSSM rocketry club and this is my first HPR solo build.
Any suggestions on how I can improve this build? Much appreciated.
