I have plenty of experience with low power 1/4A thru C motors. I have build rockets in the past that used D and E motors. I am wanting to start building some larger rockets (not HPR, yet) and up my game to the reloadable 29mm case motors and just got my hands on a Super Big Bertha kit for cheap. I like the idea of being able to run it on lower power motors like D & E and having the capacity to run on 29mm. I have used 2 up clusters before, but not 3 or 4.
I saw Tim's video about this motor mount randomly while searching for a different video of his and like the idea, but then I realized that this will totally negate the thru the wall fins. Like period, you cannot use thru the wall fins with this motor mount, at least in a BT80. Maybe something with a 3 or 4 inch tube with a BT80 centered in it would allow through the wall fins and this at the same time?
Anyone use this thing or something like it and if so what did you do with the fins?
