I'm building my first Aerotech rocket, the Astrobee D with the the aluminum retainer. I'll start by saying that I'm tempted not to use the cooling mesh it at all and use nomex instead. The issue is that I've already glued the plastic baffle to the end of the motor tube and I'm now having visions of the plastic melting and doing naughty things to the rocket. The directions say to stretch out the mesh to 6 inches yet when I do that, it slides quite freely in the motor tube. Is it supposed to do that? By the way, I absolutely love this rocket and may never work up the nerve to risk it in flight, so the point here may be moot!
