A few days back I posted in the "What Did You Do Rocket Related Today" thread that I had a dream I built and flew a rocket to 5,000 feet. I don't know what brought it on but it did get me thinking. So much so that I opened a few designs I have slated for this year and ran sims with "H" motor but nothing came close.
I googled "5,000 foot rocket" today and the Apogee Aspire popped up. Apparently it will do it using one of Apogee's 29mm F motors if you leave the launch lugs off. They recommend making it dual deploy but I didn't see if it would still make 5,000 feet with the extra weight. They say it can go supersonic too which really surprised me since it has surface glued balsa fins...
Are there any other designs that can make it to 5,000 feet using mid-power?
One other question... I was thinking that maybe it could separate midway and utilize
Thanks,
