Does the mach 2 rocket have (4) fins or (3)? How thick are they?

Thank you sir,

 

[blackjack2564]

4....... mine were 1/8.
It does come with the"black goo" glue.

 

[ChuckH]

Don't you worry about that, you don't do rockets anymore

Rules Clarification (stock length, tube, fins, nose cone) .
Does that mean all four fins must be used ?

I should have mine done by the end of this weekend. How many of these are making their debut at Airfest?

 

[BBrown]

How many of these are making their debut at Airfest?

I'm tending to think the appropriate question is "How many of these survive their debut at AirFest?"

If you dont use the switchband, what is going to prevent the avionics coupler from jamming into the nose cone when the drogue charge goes off???

You put a stop/ledge on the inside of the nosecone the bay butts up against.

On another note, the rocket must be "stock length" for the contest.

 

[WILDMANRS]

Yes the switch band must be used

While you *could* do that, seems to me that would be a helluva lot more work for no "good" reason.

Mine, "Wolf in a suit" on the left, L-935 Imax, Griffin's "PEW PEW PEW, I go higher than you!" on the right, L-265 Mellow, ready for tomorrow morning.

Hauled the mail to 22,968'

Must have missed it [emoji57]

 

[GRIFFIN]

Mine left the pad and weathercock’d pretty hard. Also lost the tracker sometime in the flight. Successful flight even though it wasn’t the winner. Recovered all in one piece and hit 19,330.

3" Falcon received, thanks Tim, looks like a killer kit!
