....what hump?
A while back I received an order from SEMROC that included 2 bonus sets of fins. One was a set for a Flis Rhino that I cut the fins in half and made 2 rockets from. The second set was to a large Black Brant ll, I recognized them due to building a FSI version years before that exploded on it maiden flight on a F100.... go figure... Anyway, I checked SEMROC's site for nose and tailcones. They had the tailcone bit no nosecone. I then tried to find info on airframe tube lengths with no luck until I came upon a PDF of the FSI instructions, the body tube lengths were listed
Later today I'll contact sandman for the last piece, the nosecone. It's such a huge piece I don't think any of the 3D guys can do it, I'm not sure. I have a warm, fuzzy feeling for balsa, anyway, so I'm going with that. Besides, the tailcone is drilled for a 29mm motor mount and I happen to have a 36" piece.
So I will be building without the foreward solid balsa tube coupler, I have a bunch of couplers from an assortment of 50 I got from Uncle Mike's. I'm going to have to order more of the BT70 and BT80 sizes, running low and more that size to build in the future. As my construction moves back towards high power I can use BT70 and 80 tubes, doubled with couplers Going to the full length ones from BMS I think, amount per dollar + shipping dictates, it's the lowest cost.
I'll be back after the nosecone get's here...the one I haven't ordered yet....:eyeroll:
