Introducing the Crazy Cluster from Andrew's Rocketry Shop. This was a fun little build. His direction packet is well written. That parts came all packed nicely.
Stats:
2.6" Diameter
3- 24mm Cluster
53" Tall
18 oz. Without motors
Started with the motor mount. The three tubes have each a thrust ring. Glued into plywood centering rings. No motor retention comes with the kit, and is intended to use friction fit.
After it was glued in, I started with the fins. The fin tabs go through the body and epoxy to the MMT.
I used a template from payloadbay to eyeball everything straight.
It wasn't included, but is made two coupler bulkheads into a baffle in the first coupler.
The second coupler also gets a bulkhead so we aren't pressurizing all three tubes for ejection. Original plans only pressurize the bottom tube.
