I have a Warlock that is fully built, and Id like to know if anyone has suggestions for how I could add 2 or 3 motor tubes to the existing motor mount. The rocket is 7.5 in diameter and has a single 38mm motor tube now. At the time this kit was manufactured, the fins went through the wall, but not all the way to the motor tube, so there are not many internal obstructions inside the fin can to worry about. I think I just need a way to drill holes for some 29mm motor mount tubes, but Im not sure how to get a hole all the way through to the forward centering ring. And if I could get it all the way forward, Im not sure how to make sure the forward hole would be properly aligned with the rear hole and the axis of the rocket.
Alternatively, do the cluster tubes need to go all the way through? Could I just drill the aft holes and cut the tubes to butt up against the forward ring? I wouldnt be using the motors in the new cluster tubes for motor eject, so if I removed the ejection charges, would it be ok if the forward end of the tube were closed?
Let it me know if you have any ideas on how to add the cluster motor tubes after the fact.
Also, I would like to be able to air start the outboard cluster motors, so what would be a good way to pass the wires through the already built fin can to the aft end?
