Got the baffle installed,it sits just about 1" above the stuffer tube.Hopefully it will diffuse some of the ejection charge before it hits the Nomex square and prolong It's life some.If not at least i Don't have to worry about a zipper.It was kinda a PITA to glue and epoxy in way down there.I...

Thanks!..Just ordered another kit too :D The Dynastar Lexxjet,Pretty cool looking rocket IMO.

Settled on a different design,a disc to hold the chute and Nomex chute protector from sliding down and to attach a leader too.I'm going to wait untill the chute protector arrives to install the disc so i know exactly where to put it to keep everything from sliding around in there. I cut the...

Change of plans,i just ordered a nomex chute protector.I'm still going to sink a plywood disc in to the bt to attatch a fishing leader to,then the shock cord to that.

The holes are 1/8",i would have gone bigger but That's the biggest lowes had for the dremel.I'm going to try to find the larger set tomorrow.

They are pretty close but Don't overlap,i think the holes are too small though.I'm going to pick up some more plywood to tinker with tomorrow and try it with 1/4" holes.Thanks for the diagram!

This is what I've come up with so far,not sure if they will flow enough.Have to fine a way to test that.

Thanks for the advice guys.I think I'm going to do what i normally do though,just go for it and see what happens.Think i have a good idea in my head right now,suggestions welcome.

Been thinking about this since i started,i want to make an ejection baffle.I'm also thinking to attach the shock cord to it with a fishing leader to avoid a zipper.After a few wasted pieces of plywood from the hobby store i got two pieces that fit the Id of the body tube very well.Thoughts...

Thanks!...I'll try that.I am very worried though,the lines seem to get all screwed up as it is just messing with the chutes on the table.I rigged them the way that causes crossed lines according to what I've seen here lol.Glad i want to build this one again,i have a feeling i may have to.Video...
