Thanks for your order! Please review the instructions though. Although we supplied you with half an ounce of clay (14g), per the instructions, you only use half of it. The full 14g might make it a bit top heavy and cause arcing on B motors. I would probably use your rocketpoxy, and then add appropriate weight to get it to the NC+halfClay and try it in the field before adding more. I just had a customer whose BB was arcing on a B and he had used the whole supplied clay instead of the specified half dosage...
Wilco, I will use 7g of clay for a goal nose cone total weight of 35.991g or we’ll call 36 ish grams close enough. I plan to roughen the inside of the nose cone to help the RocketPoxy stick so the final measurements will be nose cone before sanding, after sanding, and yield 7g of RocketPoxy + replace the small amount of material removed with RocketPoxy to keep it on par with the original design characteristics.
If you CHAD stage a d12-0... still nope
Way cool!
Basswood. The booster is held in place by the engine but also it's up against the fins that stick out of the back lol. I'll see if I can give it a test this weekend.
Cool. Is there a reason so much of the motor is sticking so far out the rear?
It was just the BT remnant I had left. Should work about the same...
Dude.
Yup, if you make Bobby's nose out of powdered Tungsten !
Bullet Bobby will need a Teflon coating up top. Maybe hollow point. Bobby goes Spitzer shape 3006! 1906 rules! Variable CP and CG, no problem.
Holy Smokes what a scale! .001 gram resolution! that's the weight (in standard earth gravity, of course) of 1 cubic mm of water! I was looking into a scale, and pal that had to cost a pretty penny...!

Probably worth it though... I want one...
Quite true, quite true... and then how much more precise than a ±0.1 gram scale is it, and is it worth it to you?
Just when I thought I was crazy for wanting to put a Q-Jet
I use it for reloading, it just happens to be useful for rocketry also.Holy Smokes what a scale! .001 gram resolution! that's the weight (in standard earth gravity, of course) of 1 cubic mm of water! I was looking into a scale, and pal that had to cost a pretty penny...!

RocketPoxy fillets; love them, hate to wait for them to dry. I am trying to finish up my RocketPoxy before it is no longer usable. So almost every project gets RocketPoxy these days
I seriously didn't think about it but it's even more appropriate now.
I always like to inject a grain of humor where I can! (Ok, I'll get my coat... on with the build!)I seriously didn't think about it but it's even more appropriate now.
I use my kids science fair projects as an excuse to buy (or upgrade) my lab equipment. So you want to do a experiment with plant fertilizer? We are going to need a digital microgram scale to measure that properly.... And maybe some new 500 ml beakers while we are at it...Holy Smokes what a scale! .001 gram resolution! that's the weight (in standard earth gravity, of course) of 1 cubic mm of water!
