Finally got my first upscale project to look like a completed rocket. Upper is a 3" LOC tube and bottom is a BT-70 total height is ~59 inches. Will use one 29mm motor.
I am contemplating a test fire with standard recovery system (36" chute, no electronics, weight with single use G motor is <42oz) that will not require certification. Step 2 will be to cut the upper tube and add an E-bay fitted with an RRC3 & Archetype Cable Cutter system for my first dual deployment flight. These additions should put me over 55oz, so certification will be required.
If all goes well I have plenty of room to move up to "proper" dual deployment system with a drogue.
Big Thanks to Stickershock.com for the correct sized vinyl decals and Gary7 for the upsizing data.
Second pic shows where I put the 'Radiation Flux' decal (that 99% of the PD pictures never show!) The picture with the 34oz weight is without recovery system or motor.
Only regret is not using a heavier, sturdier lower body tube, however, the TTW fins on an 11" motor tube should hold the power without support from the BT. If nothing else, I like it. Wifey saw it for the first time and said "Wow, that's Huge!" :jaw:
