"Helps transfer thrust from thrust plate to fin can."
Hey Fred. That sentence was probably poorly stated. I think it's just a thin ring bonded to the airframe behind the fin can to ensure the fin can doesn't slide off the back. It already has set screws in shear, but Chuck is going for a belt and suspenders route.
Chuck, You are welcome to come out for any of the AEROPAC Blackrock Launches. Standing waiver to 60 K ft with morning windows to 120 K ft. See 2020 dates on our website aeropac.org. Would love to see your rocket fly at one of our launches.Ok thanks guys.
Need some altitude lol. May be a BALLS 29 rocket.

Congratulations on your super cool rocket/motor/trailer setup Chuck.
I enjoyed meeting you and now have a better understanding of how you "do it" .... Your not just a type A Chuck, your a double type AA with an infectious super friendly personality. Pleasure meeting you sir and best of luck going forward with your rocket projects.
You dream and act in the light of day.
C'ya down the road Chuck

Question:
When’s the next AeroPAC launch?
Thanks.
Chuck C.
Chuck, My apologies, but in my pre-caffeine haze I was totally forgetting that AEROPAC launches are only Class 2 wavered for motor impulse and I was only considering altitude limits for our waiver. Historically those who have flown Class 3 motors at our launches had their own FAA waiver. Sorry for the confusion.Chuck, You are welcome to come out for any of the AEROPAC Blackrock Launches.

The AEROPAC waiver covers up to an impulse of 40,960 Newton-seconds though we can coordinate with a flyer who gets a class-3 FAA waiver.
Standing waiver is 60,000 feet. This year we have morning 2 hour windows to 250,000 feet every launch day but you must recover within a 10 nautical mile radius.
Launch hours are 7am to 10pm. We can have night launches each night if there are night flyers.
Launch schedule is on aeropac.org
