    Vent holes...but not for the payload bay

    I have read a considerable amount on the drilling of vent holes for use on altimeter-based deployments, and as a general practice to keep pressure changes and drag-related pressure buildup from popping a payload section before anticipated. However, has anyone drilled holes aft of the forward...

    Hi, Just started laying out my fiberglass 4" DX3 for drill holes (launch lugs, vent holes) Where is the proper location for the vent holes in the payload bay? I know to stay away from other objects to facilitate clean airflow, but there seems to be several schools of thought on the placement...

As I was fitting the bulkhead I realized I would be capturing relatively dense air in the sealed nose cone at a density altitude of -1,116 feet (I'm at...
