Not planning to do an exhaustive build thread because there are already a lot of build threads for wildman fiberglass rockets and the process is similar. So I'll mainly be asking specific questions where I'd like some advice from the community.
My first question is about recovery harness attachment to the MMT. Most builds, including the original CJ build thread, show the Kevlar strap being glued on opposite sides of the MMT, basically 180° apart. This makes complete sense to me however I am not sure that's what I want to do. I marked the fin locations on the MMT and left 1/2" of free space on either side of each fin for the internal fillets to adhere to. That leaves about 1-1/8" between each fin for me to glue on the 1" wide kevlar strap. I have a pic of the layout below. I don't see how I'm going to make 180° work. Only issue I can come up with is the sustainer might not hang completely vertical in descent. Not sure that's anything to be worried about. Anyone see a problem with the harness attachment points only being 120° apart?
