A recent project has me building rockets for a professional client. One of the rockets is a MDRM. Since it's basically the same design, this has got me looking at my Mega Mosquito for myself again. I've been holding off on it because of the sandwiched find. I think it's time I finally break down and build it.
I was looking at just how heavy and draggy this thing is. The fins are pretty strong with their sandwiched design. The TTW tabs are the only weak point I see. And I feel confident that a proper set of internal fillets could resolve that issue.
But, the motor selection is so small for the 24mm MMT that is provided. I was considering upgrading it to a 29mm. This will give me a selection of motors far greater that originally. And with a 24/29 adapter, I could almost double the options.
Should I upgrade this one, or leave well enough alone and just be happy with what's available in the 24mm range? Keep in mind that I have no interest in cutting any new fins or ribs. Not bass nor plywood. I would simply strengthen the existing fins.
