North Coast Rocketry Cluster Duck - Mods or stock

So when I did my big shop states side and had an amazing friend ship it all over to me I added a North Coast Rocketry Cluster Duck https://northcoastrocketry.com/clusterduck.htm to my order.

In short it has 6x 18mm and central 24mm

So 24mm offers me the option to do Estes D, Micro Hybrid and CTI Pro 24 stuff if I leave out the motor block.

The 18's allow for A-C of Estes and Klima Composite Motors.

So what mods to make to the kit?

Manual is here if you want to have a run down over it https://northcoastrocketry.com/Cluster Duck Instructions 120413.pdf

AeroTech has 18mm single use and reloadable C and D composite motors at https://www.valuerockets.com/products.aspx

Not in the UK they don't and likely not until late 2015 with the ongoing issues.

I wouldn't let that stop you from making it ready for those motors. Build it to handle a CTI G and 8 Aerotech Ds and you can put anything you want in it.

So what mods

Dual deploy
E-Bay
Kevlar recovery all round
Lose the 24mm motor block
Maybe look at an Aeropack 24mm
Paper skin the ply fins
Maybe a light glass on the body tube
Zipperless design
Using the above to make e-bay section for timer for air starts

Anymore?
