I am looking for a mid-power rocket with a 24mm MMT. Because I sometimes like to push boundaries, I am looking for something that is not fragile, so it should be simple in design and be able to reasonably stand up to normal abuse, with low maintenance. It should also be able to handle the higher thrust G motors but be small and light enough to still be stable on the mid E motors.
This rocket will be flown locally @ LP-MP launches, but also at a HP launch to fly between HP flights; just as a simple, quick-prep, pop and drop flight. My AeroTech Arreaux has serviced this purpose well, however it is 29mm MMT and in my case a bit too heavy for anything in the E class.
Just too add to the laundry list, the airframe needs to be a large enough diameter for me to have the option of using my JLCR, modifying the nosecone to accommodate an Eggtimer Quark @ 1.8"L x .75"W for electronic deployment (apogee only), and even throw in a EggFinder Mini @ 3.5"L X .7"W, for those flights that may hit 2-4K.
I realize its a long laundry list and it may come down to a scratch, but I would prefer to purchase a kit and modify from there.
Thoughts?
