I've been doing a detailed build thread on my Facebook page, but figured it'd be appropriate to give an abbreviated thread here.
"Hellraiser."
based upon the 1987 movie directed by Clive Barker.
4FNC
7.5" LOC tubing, kevlar anti-zipper bands, 1 ply 7781 FG wrap.
Ogive FWFG nosecone by Rocketry Warehouse
98mm MMT
Bulkheads, Interlocking Centering Rings, and Fins 1/2" ply cut by Nat, Upscale CNC.
Harnesses by One Bad Hawk.
Telemetrum 2.0
Raven 3
Blastcaps x3 pair
Through-bulkhead terminals by Doghouse Rocketry.
Y-Harnesses by One Bad Hawk
Apogee event: 24" x 25' Streamer
Main Event: 48"Fruity Chutes Iris Ultra pilot, 96" Fruity Chutes Iris Ultra in freebag.
Nosecone recovers separate
75/98mm Aeropack adapter
Aeropack retainer
127" tall
23kg (ish) pad weight
CTI M-1770SK
Projected altitude: 6,500ish
Velocity: 750-800FPSish
Hellraiser's 7.5" NC vs. Mondo Kraken's 5.54" NC. L2 bird looks on, as well as the L section of the library.
Coupler assembly is inspected by Chief Tube Inspector, Wayne Mouse, and is given the go-ahead.
Super high-performance Fin Marking Guide: Piece of paper wrapped around, folded in half, then half again. Works on Estes... still works on LOC.
Neat shot of the whizzy wheel flexing as slots are being cut.
And slots, be-cutted. They extend to the end to permit the interlocking fins and CR's to be assembled outside of the airframe.
More later...
Later!
