Always learning!!!
Going to start a new thread on this.
We've got a 9" diameter 7 1/2' long "Q" motor casing that's going to need a rocket.
Our biggest concerns off the bat are transferring the power of the motor to the rocket and what type of fins we'll need.
Can multiple G-10 layers be glued together to create a strong fin? Of course they would then be carbon-fibered tip-to-tip. We've been reading other ideas centering around a foam or balsa core. Just wondering if the ease of multiple layers of G-10 would work. Heavy yes but perhaps not prohibitively so.
We're going to throw out ideas and if they are bad ideas just say so and we'll adjust.
Thanks.
Here's the motor casing for those that haven't seen it yet:
