This one was my first take at canted engines.
I went with 13mm engines to keep the budget down (and I had a pack of BT-5 laying around )
Nose and tail cone are hand rolled paper hardened with CA.
The 3 BT-5 engine tubes converge at the center of mass into a single BT-5 for ejection.
Transitions are traditional Estes paper shrouds.
Rocket stand was just bracket stuff I had lying around
It has flown successfully once (all engines go) and 2 out of 3 engines fired on launch 2 (not so good)
super fun project.
