I realize this rocket was designed to fly on G motors but I plan to use it for getting my Level 1 cert so I placed this thread in the HPR section. I also plan to build it light enough so I can fly it on G motors without needing a waiver.
Here are the mods I'm planning for this build:
I've checked the stability in OR with the MMT shifted to the rear as I plan to do and with a 29mm 6XL case the stability is 1.47. So I should be good without needing any nose weight. I'm hoping to get started on this build within the next week or so.
Here are the mods I'm planning for this build:
- Shift MMT rearward so the motor extends out past the bottom of the BT - this should help eliminate damage to the bottom of the BT
- Aeropack motor retainer
- Additional CR at the rear of the rocket
- Replace stock baffle with a set of half moon baffles
- Altimeter bay between the upper bulkhead and NC
- Upgrade shock cord and recovery hardware
