Hello! I'm new here, I guess you could call me a BAR since I got rid of all my rockets after high-school a decade ago and picked it back up again recently.
Anyways, I had some questions about a dual deployment rocket I'm building to get some experience with it. This will be a silly 7 foot, 3" rocket with a 38mm motor mount. Unrelated, has anyone ever done a Mean Machine upscale?
Specs:
3" blue tube, two sections (4' and 2') with 4 fins, 20" long 38mm MMT, "normal" av-bay, etc.
(drogue parachute missing in sim, main chute in lower for motor deploy, some parts out of place, just ignore )
Question, is zipper-less still something people do? This would be three 2' sections. I would think the advantage here is being able to access the shock-cord mount easily plus more positive drogue deployment without running wires down the tube. Although it does weigh a bit more with the extra coupler.
Any objections to 1500# test Kevlar cord? I've had good luck with Kevlar previously. However, I might spring for a nice nylon harness for the main from OneBadHawk.
