Hey Team,
This will be my first bottom-up build for a 24 mm rocket! Some specs and components (just received from Apogee and Estes):
- Total length about 108 cm.
- Stability approx 5.5 cal (depending on engine used, sim'd in OpenRocket).
Attached is the 3D rendering from OpenRocket.
Can you guys give me a feel for if I've missed anything, recommendations, or general building advice for this one? Planning on naming her "EX-24" (Experimental, 24 mm)...#NerdAlert.
Thanks All!
