I'm thinking about building the Rocketarium Trident rocket, specifically, the 13, 18 or 24mm version. For anyone who's built one of these, is the nose cone hollow? And if so, what would you estimate the thickness is for the walls of the nose cone (not including the shoulder)?
I ask because I like building payload bays into my nose cones and I'm used to having plastic nose cones that have plenty of space inside. I know the Trident rockets have payload bays, but I prefer to build the payload bays and place the payload as far up as possible in the rocket.
For the 13mm version: how well do you think it flies off of 1/4A engines?
For the 18mm version: can you fly it off of 1/2A engines? If so, what would you estimate the approximate altitude is?
For the 24mm version: can it fly off of 3x B engines (like a B6-4 in a spacer)?
