I doubt it's a secret, I contemplating a 38mm powered BT-80 based rocket.
With that in mind, I'm curious what the outer diameter of a classic Slimline 38mm motor retainer is. I'm thinking that this would be applied to the motor tube, and glued into the back of the boat tail flush with the back of the rocket.
The boat tail would be made from one of the TLP-26L nosecones, and the joint would be done with JB weld (both motor tube to retainer, and retainer to boat tail.
While we're at it, how about the 29mm, and 54mm retainers as well.
Thanks!
