Hello Today I finish my Mercury Little Joe, i use the Michal Urban Model website modified.
I added the motor mount for a estes mini-engine, in the capsule i use customized connection strips to improve the resistance for the ejection charge. add a kevlar Shock cord using Tri Fold Method and Ejection Baffle.
Specifications
Mercury Little Joe
Scale: 1/48
Diameter: 4.2 cm
Length: 23.2 cm
Recovery: 12" Parachute with center port
Weight: 21 gr
Engine Mount: Estes Mini Engine (13mm)
Launch Lug: 1/4"
Ejection Baffle: Tri- 2/3 Circle
No escape tower at this moment.
Tomorrow will be the test launch, i'm quite worry because the only 13 mm Motor that i have is the A10-3T and the Open Open Rocket Simulation the apogee 72 Meters, that is too high for a 23 Cm Rocket, i think i will lose in the first flight . so the altimeter 2 will be in my pocket not in the rocket
