I have an AT G80-13T DMS motor sitting around here, and would like to make use of it.
Delay is not adjustable, so the rocket must be minimum diameter and lightweight.
Looking for recommendations and suggestions for rocket kits that would be suitable to replicate or scale to this size.
I already have some components:
- Conical Urethane Nose Cone 1.1" from Public Missiles. (6" length, 60 grams)
- 29mm (1.1" thickwall cardboard tube - up to 36")
- 29mm 1.1" piston for ejection system (if needed)
- G80-13T motor
A few possible ideas using this nose cone:
- PML Cirrus Dart
- Black Brant II
- Black Brant III
A cardboard tube 'cirrus dart' replica would touch Mach 1 if the fins are not too thick.
Ran into problems selecting fin material. What are my options that will hold together at this speed?
Needs to withstand one flight and land with streamer or small chute. If successfully recovered and able to fly again, that would be a bonus.
Must also be kept lightweight and low cost since it will possibly disappear into space.
