I use Aeropack retainers on all my high power rockets. But I no longer buy the whole thing. It's less expensive to just get the part that goes on the rocket and reuse the screw on part. And I also sprung for the extra cost of having my name and Tripoli number engraved.

You can jam a 5g 29mm CTI H160 skid in on of these Sport rockets and still be under model rocket rules if there is no waiver in place.

Just an F.Y.I., if I am not mistaken all sparkies are now consider high power by both NAR and NFPA 1127 even if it is only a "F", or "G"
Is not an H by definition Hi-Powered?
I may build one for the drag race at mid west power .

Setting the nose cone loop was my first experience with 2 part foam. It floated the washer more than half way up the cone.
So I ripped it all out while the foam was a little soft and re-set the nut end of the loop with epoxy. Repoured the next morning. Belt and suspenders seemed to work okay.

One last question. Maybe. Is any surface prep of the fiberglass needed before primer
Sand lightly with fine paper. Lay it under a pyramid during the full moon. Run around the pyramid showing your full moon.
OK, maybe the last two aren't really necessary, but do you want to chance it? :dark:
