I love the big rockets so its about time to certify. Went out to my club launch Saturday and had 5 successful launches on E and F reloads. The clouds were to low for me to feel comfortable with any G motors. I feel pretty good and comfortable with my reload assembly, chutes all deployed with the new to me shroud lines inside the parachute and not wrapped around, and the Jolly Logic worked flawlessly at 300'. I did have one nose cone come untied from the shock cord though. Im gonna get some more practice flights in with some G motors the next launch and see how Im feeling about the cert attempt.
Anyways, on to the new goodies. Tell me what else I should get if I need to for the build.
AT 38/240 case with aft and forward closure
AT H123-14
38mm retainer
LOC Precision LOC IV!!!
18" chute protector (Ive never used one)
Delay drilling tool
Fix It epoxy clay
220# ball bearing swivel
Large tongue depressors
JB weld
And just because, the large guillotine fin jig. Im tired of eyeballing fins to see if theyre straight. Even with slotted tubes it seems its possible to have one fin at a slight angle.
I have been using Z Poxy 15 minute epoxy on other rockets and Im pretty happy with it. It seems strong, is that gonna be ok for H and I flights?
