Hey guys check out this rocksim (Open Rocket) file. It is a design of mine for a 98mm Min Diameter. I want to know what you guys think.

+1 on Kevin's question.So, this particular motor has consumed 16 or 17 all-composite minimum-diameter airframes.
What are you doing that's so radically different that you think yours will work?
The two that have worked (Mike Paseratti and Gerald Meux) both used significant aluminum components.

I want to know what you guys think.
Back to the drawing board................
Could you please elaborate on you statement?
Lets say I do all that. Let say I use the best epoxy I can find, https://www.cotronics.com/catalog/ Even if when I do tip to tip and lay the fibers the correct way it is only as strong as the epoxy can withstand. What about doing coats of this.

So basically in you guys opinons and some are backed bay experience that all composites will fail becuase of the resources that we in this field have are not good enough to handle those specified speeds? Except for the big high powered aerospace companies. So what you are saying is the material itself (carbon fiber, kevlar, fiber glass tubes) that fail or is it the glues are not heat resitant enough and so in return it falls apart? What comes first the chicken or the egg? The glues get soft and everything falls apart or the composite materials give way, while the glue is still in tacked?
Metal rocket + N5800 = higher probability of successful flight
The type of rocket you are talking about can only be launched at black rock correct?
