So I picked up a used Aerotech Strong Arm that was built completely stock with the baffle, thrust ring, and spring clip retention. I'll like to use my 29mm 3G CTI case on this rocket, so I need to remove that crap.
Baffle is easy enough to remove, so is the thrust ring. But how about the spring clip? I can cut the aft end, but I'll need to remove the forward portion as well. Anyone have any ideas or neat tricks to get rid of it?
Assuming I'm able to remove the spring clip, what should I use for retention? I think I coud get an Aeropack retainer on there, but not sure I want to part with the $ for one (the retainer will cost almost as much as I paid for the rocket). Friction fit maybe?
