Hello,
I wanted another big daddy since it was my 2rocket launched and the first eaten by the tree monsters all at the same time. therefore, since everybody been talking about this new DAddy capable of E motors ,I got one. All okay, I look at it and go...Man I got 2 f23-7 motors laying here... bingo a modified big daddy for 29mm. Took some work for me, comes with 2 cardboard centering rings24mm, I enlarged them. Then made 2 balsa 29mm centering rings just by trace and cutout, then glue to the cardboard rings to one side followed by construction paper glueing the other side. Cut down the fin base for the 29mm thru tube connection and rest of build is normal. Used mostly 5min epoxy since its very fast and might put a g at most in it another time if that goes well. F23 looking at 1450feet and g77R was something like 2200 rocksim. Just slapped some paint on it and will be launching in the AM SAT along with 5 or 6 other rockets I hope. Will get pics posted later after the flights.
