Okay it time for my next HPR build. This rocket dubbed Gt-R will be my first step into the world of composite rocketry as well as supersonic flight.
Here's the rundown:
Airframe: 29mm thin-wall motor tube with 1-2 wrap fiberglass veil (6 Oz.)
Fins: Custom cut from PML or homemade fiberglass plates.
Electronics: Telemetrum for tracking and DD.
Recovery: Cable Cutter and 12" Parachute deploying at apogee and fully opening at 500 ft.
Max Altitude: 7233 ft on an I205
Max Velocity: Mach 1.8 on an H275
I've been designing this rocket for the past couple of months now and I'm happy that i'll finally be able to begin building it. I hope that I can use this rocket to be a learning experience so I can become better versed in the area of composites and (hopefully) be a stepping stone to builds such as a 38mm MD and larger, composite rockets.
As always, I welcome any and all suggestions, remarks, corrections etc...
