I'm building my first non-kit (it's from plans from a book, so not, I guess, scratchbuilt - maybe semi-scratch??), and I was thinking of building an ejection baffle into it. I haven't used one yet, but it's a 1.64 inch tube, 18 inches long, so it seems plenty big enough. I like the idea of not having to load up wadding each time I launch it.
Is there some kind of minimum size of rocket you'd want before considering to install a baffle? Are there reasons you would not want to have a baffle in a rocket? And when would you definitely need a baffle?
When I was building my Big Bertha, I almost considered putting one in there, but decided to stick with the instructions.
