Ok here we go again. Crashinj and Rocket trike got the cluster fever bad.
We are planing on building 2 rockets and drag race them. Each rocket will have a cluster of 1 24mm and 7 18mm motors. We will be using Estes Motors.
I will let Crashinj tell you about his.
But here is mine monster. It will be about 36in tall. The bottom half will be made from 1 18 in BT50 body tube for the 24mm motors surrounded by 7 18in Bt20 body tubes for the 18mm motors. These will go to the top half which will be a 15in BT80 body tube topped off with a nose cone like the one that comes in the Big Bertha kits. It will have 7 yes 7 fins that have a 7in root edge and a 4in trailing edge. There will be 1 between each BT20 body tube. I have put this together with tape and rubber bands to see how everything will fit together. Here is a picture of what I hope for it to look like.
So let me know if you think this will work or if you think that Crashinj and Rocket trike are out of our minds.
