I am attempting to build a 6 foot replica of Tom Cohen's Higgs Farm Square Rocket . . .
The original rocket is a 240 lb N motor beast. Here is Tom's original build thread: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?121209-Higgs-Farm-Square-Rocket
There is also a Mini Higgs Farm Rocket kit made by New Way Space Models. Here's mine . . .
The rocket that I'm building will actually be a 4X upscale of the Mini Higgs Farm Rocket which will make it 6' 4" tall. It will be built on a 4" fiberglass tube with 54mm motor tube. The square exterior will be made of 1/4" birch plywood. Fins will be made of 3/16" G10 fiberglass, custom cut by UpscaleCNC. I expect the weight to end up at about 35 lb with motor. I will be using altimeter controlled single deploy at apogee, with the altimeter in the nose. So far it sims at about 1500 ft on a 6 grain 54mm motor.
