So, I was making breakfast this morning and after making my wife a breakfast sandwich I grabbed some aluminum foil to keep her sandwich warm until she was ready to eat. It was the last little piece of foil and then I saw the roll...
The roll is thick-wall cardboard with a 24mm ID. I got to checking fitment of a spent E12 motor case, grabbed a hook and motor block, and got to work. The tube isn't really long enough for a motor that size, but then I checked a roll of parchment paper we had in the kitchen and it's the same size! Unrolled the parchment, stole the tube, and rolled the parchment back up and put it back in the box.
So far, all I have done is the motor mount, but I plan on glassing the tubes, light-ply fins and balsa nose cone. From there, I'll decide on recovery, but I'm thinking streamer and mid-split airframe.
Pics to come as the build progresses!
