Okay ... here's a question that just came to mind. How much of a rocket can you replace and still have the rocket?
For example, I'm rebuilding parts of my "YouBee" for the third or fourth time. After the first flight, I replaced the shock cords and parachute. After the second flight, I replaced the electronics bay and main parachute section. After the third flight, I rebuilt the rear (fin) section of the rocket. Now, after the fourth flight, I am replacing the middle sections.
All that will remain of the rocket I originally built and flew will be the nose cone, parachute protector, camera cradle, and a few quick-links.
So, when I get done with this latest rebuild, will it still be the same rocket? How much of a rocket can you replace and have it still be the same rocket?
