In the many years that I haven't been able to complete a high powered project I decided to go down to a mid powered rocket. Its no fun having a small rocket so I wanted to make a rocket that would be big and at the same time light enough to launch on mid-powered motors.
I came up with making a lightweight 3" diameter, 45" long, carbon fiber rocket. The design is simple consisting of 1 wrap of carbon for the body tube, balsa core with carbon reinforcement fins, and a plastic nose cone that is currently out of stock by estes rockets. The motor mount is paper tube with glassed balsa centering rings.
That covers the design and here is a picture of the design in rocksim.
