Hi Everyone,
I was looking at some other sites for egg lofting rockets and a lot of them places the egg in the nose cone. The body tube I am using is a BT80 and I am wondering if I could cut the nose cone I have and place an egg in it?
The nose cone I am using is one I bought from apogee shown below. It feels like plastic. If I cut it to insert the egg with cotton, how can I keep it closed? Use something like clear packing tape over the cut area?
If I use the nose cone, then I don't have to add another container to hold the egg and will reduce the weight. The contest is to see who can launch a rocket and land without breaking the egg. And they will time it from launch to when it lands. I'm using three C6-3 rockets as a cluster.
Thanks!
Warren
