I wonder how it works on o-rings?

I can tell you this too, you can squeeze a Volkswagen into a mailbox with enough of it.I wonder how it works on o-rings?
Great thread... I'm planning a flight around the L2050 and was curious-
What were the descent velocities you were getting during tumble?
Nice!A 4" version of this design with some aerodynamic and structural improvements is almost complete. I'll post some pics, but nothing as extensive as this build thread. Same thing, just bigger. And slower, thankfully.
Smells like an O3400 bird to me.Nice!
Motor of choice?
IIRC he's going with the N1560Smells like an O3400 bird to me.
That'd be a sweet flight too - and way lower speed. Either way, fun stuff!IIRC he's going with the N1560
I heard that you're changing to a N5800. Good luck with the N record.I've been busily working towards finishing the 4" version of my L rocket that was detailed here in the preceding thread. It'll fly at Balls on a CTI N-1560.
Well, yeah. My wife talked me into it, actually. And things just came together being able to get the motor from AMW with Randy Shanyfelt's help.I heard that you're changing to a N5800. Good luck with the N record.
Is that stability margin sitting as it is right now? Or the minimum stability you will see on launch? Also where did you get that carbon fiber? Both the uni and absolutely beautiful bias spread tow, and did you have to sell your first born to buy it?The final fin thickness is 3/16". The CF tip to tip is recessed into the fins similar to the L rocket earlier in the thread.
Stability is right at 2.
And thanks for the kind words, @robopup, @kjhambrick, @Neutronium95 and everyone else!
2 calibers is static sitting on the pad. The CP moves forward quite a bit as it visits Mach 3. But RASAero says it's all good, the plots look nice. So I'm as calm as I can be about the CG/CP relationship.Is that stability margin sitting as it is right now? Or the minimum stability you will see on launch? Also where did you get that carbon fiber?

Feel free to ask any questions, I'm happy to answer.1 more question if you don't mind. Did you make that NC? And if you did did you use the same method you used on your last rocket? Any changes to the mold? I am currently in the process of doing something very similar for a 38mm NC and your thread has been so helpful! Best of luck on the launch she is truly a beauty!(sorry that was more than one question)
Yes please me too!Eagerly awaiting a launch report on this beauty.
