Have you done any work on the Ebay you can share?
Very, changing to BP ejection is just a matter of changing one "module". Of course BP ejection requires building a modified version of a piston that GLR intended to prevent scorching of the laundry.Ah! Now I see it. That is an interesting system.
Gettin' there Steve, hoping to do external fillets tonight and Tip to Tip tomorrow.Nice work, Rich.

It’s amazing how much more work a large diameter rocket requires, isn’t it?
Thank you, it is pretty massive, I never really ever expected to have or build something like this.

A rocket is good when you can total fillets by the yard.
That and body spiral cordage, although you cheated and glassed it.
There are US Composites 150 structural epoxy fillets under the new ones. From comparisons in the past between the two epoxies they are close enough that cost is the deciding factor. I have on occasion used Sytem Three T88 as well. Internal fillets will be more US Composites 150 ones. The 150 epoxy is a stroner bonding but harder curing epoxy, the 635 is a bit more flexible. One of these days I need to go back and reformat my old epoxy comparison thread from a year or two ago, the comparisons were for both Aeropoxies varieties, West, System Three, Rocketpoxy, and one or two other iirc. All were close enough in each application that unless high performance properties were called for they were good enough for most hobby rocket projects. High performance epoxies are ones like Hysol, Cotronics, and similar ones.L2200G. Tame the green dragon!
Have you compared your fiber filled US vs Aeropoxy 6xxx (structural)?

Looking good, Rich! I'm looking forward to seeing this beast fly at Sod Blaster! Maybe we will have to M flights that weekend!
Hopefully we get a few more than two M's , after all the new Coker style pad is almost ready to go and its a beast. Dave K, has said he is getting ready to build the away cell wireless launch controller. Really hoping you are there to take some awesome pics of the flight and Ryan and his camcorder, the flight of this monster should be easily visible as none of the sims exceed 5k AGL, and its most likely going to be a dark colored rocket. Did I mention that the motor I am hoping to fly it on will possibly be certified in the next 30-45 days (according to ATGM) the M1955DM
Oh, Ill be there for this beast to fly! I saw that about the M1955DM! I would love to fly one of those on the Sandhawk, but I'd bust the waiver at the sod farm! If the Coker pad is ready soon, I might just have to fly the Sandhawk at the farm before FITS, and maybe go for my L3 there instead... Im eyeing one of the big 75mm L DM motors for Sod blaster...
