This project is the definition of “next level!”
Unfortunately nothing that us East Coast guys can replicate locally

There could have been beer... there could have been snacks! Next time brother, please.And to think if crew scheduling hadent moved my trip tonight.. I could’ve been supervising this little magic show tonight. Sigh.

Can you tell us more about the coupler to the topnof the motor connection? Where did the potted epoxy go?
The plan was to send enough epoxy onto the plate to adhere it, but also purposfully allow epoxy to flow and partially fill the gap directly on top of the motor. IMO this strength is really needed to hold that coupler in place. The epoxy flowed through the holes and resides on top of the motor case now. I assure you the coupler cannot be removed at this point.Can you tell us more about the coupler to the topnof the motor connection? Where did the potted epoxy go?
No sir. What you see in the photos above is all permanent. That's the downside of single use. Still having a lot of fun with it though.Oh ok. So the coupler is part of the motor now but the bolt can be unscrewed and the bottom plate can come out?
So the epoxy is on top side of bulk plate also?No sir. What you see in the photos above is all permanent. That's the downside of single use. Still having a lot of fun with it though.

Pardon my cluelessness: what am I looking at in the above picture? I can't figure it out.

Thanks.Fiberglass cloth fin to fin reinforcement.
Just awesome....love reading this thread!! The knowledge and skills are something everyone should strive to achieve. This project is awesome.
I seem to remember running some numbers on one of my tiny subsonic birds, soImpressive rocketeering, pushing the limits of extreme performance. I'm curious though, how much advantage does going sub-MD have over MD? There is less wetted surface area, but with the addition of one transition (or two) in the diameter of the rocket. Is it over all a net gain in aerodynamics? Or just weight?
You can make a test flight by making a cylinder of aluminum to space a second hockey puck bulkhead, and test on a baby K propellant load perhaps. You (or somebody if you trust them) could make an EX motor to duplicate the thrust profile of your target motor but only for the first part of the burn then shuts off. IF it looks well behaved going through mach you might be good for the higher power attempt. But if it doesn't, it will very likely shred under higher power.
