I am starting my Blue Light Special.
Will update as the build progresses.
Not real good at documenting things though so we'll see.
Attached is the RS file (v8).
I have decided to make the motor mount a 54mm.
I know, you can always adapt down, but as this is a special purpose rocket rather than a general flyer, flights will be limited anyway.
I had hoped to come up with a way to put some sort of flashing or rotating blue light on it, but am not having luck.
I have found a bunch of sites that tell how to tear apart a one time use camera and make a repeating strobe out of them, but not being an electronics wiz am reluctant to try it for fear of frying myself.
Plan at this point is to have sandman make a NC and the transition for me.
Have to get some G10 ordered for the fins and a tube for the motor mount.
