Idk where this is going. I have one already built for an E motor down to A but the fins are warped and it doesn't fit for crap. Now this will probably fly on a F something eventually, but probably a B4-4 first. I'm going to cut the nosecone shoulder off, then drop in a eyelet bolt in with epoxy. The fins will all be covered in poster board and glue, with tabs to the motor tube. Definitely going to airfoil the fins and I'm not sure if I'll need to beef up those centering rings. I'll be able to put glue on each side of them with the tube slots I'm going to cut in sometime today, and that will basically be 2 great centering rings themselves once they dry. Probably going to use 550 lb kevlar shock cord, I'll wrap that around the motor tube and its going to be longer than usual. I'm not sure if I'm going to make a chute protector for this or not. I might have plenty of room for wadding and dog barf woth using the nosecone to stuff the chute into. Stock plastic one with a spill hole. Pretty good chance of this going up and not being found, so I'm not using anything nice or nylon in it yet. Ill get an eggfinder mini too before the composite flights its gonna go high enough buts its super small. Thats another thing I'll watch and do flight simulations as not not break the rules or see what it could do. Its not going to launched on anything composite unless its at a launch day. I'm not sure how high even say a F42-4T will take it up. Once I finish it, weigh it, OpenRocket it, then ill know what motors will do what. But the motor retainer cap will screw on right up the the aft body tube. Those markings and measurements I'm working on right now. And a few more fin skins and templates. I'm going to be pretty concentrated on just this build.
