So due to a mishap at LDRS where I looked at the wrong sheet to see how much to adjust the delay charge my 4” Madcow Patriot ejected too late. The result, a 6” zipper and a lost nose cone.
Planning on rebuilding it and modifying it a little. Have a shopping cart ready on the Madcow site for a new nose cone (Long ogive this time), coupler and a 31” body tube.
I’ve cut the zippered section off. I plan on adding the 31” section there and adding the new nose cone. It’ll definitely be longer than the original and the longer length means I don’t have to put quite as much weight in the nose cone. Built it in openrocket and it looks good.
I’ll update the payload bay for altimeter deployment. I need a longer shock cord too.
I’ll post pics once I get started.
This was my level one rocket. Seems fitting to rebuild and possibly use it for my level 2.
