It is an AT Arreauxbee Hi kit, 2.6” dia body tube, mid power, 24/29 mm motor mount.What body size... and what motor?
How does the flanged part attach to the body tube?
Should make for an interesting test mule. What motor do you plan to fly it on?It is an AT Arreauxbee Hi kit, 2.6” dia body tube, mid power, 24/29 mm motor mount.
The brackets clamp very snugly, but to make sure the fins don’t fall off in boost, I inserted bolts at the base between the fins. No glue.
Have you checked the weight and CG vs the stock configuration? Might be worth your while in the event some extra nose weight is needed. Or even better, run an Open Rocket simulation.Recommended for first flight is E20-4W.
I’ll do that after I paint the nose cone and tie on the parachute.Have you checked the weight and CG vs the stock configuration? Might be worth your while in the event some extra nose weight is needed. Or even better, run an Open Rocket simulation.
It flew yesterday with F67, G74, and G80 with no problems in flight
Might be something @Dotini could use for his horizontal spin birds.It flew yesterday with F67, G74, and G80 with no problems in flight.
On landing, the nylon bolts will pop their heads before damaging the fins, which are 1/8" basswood. Easy field repair.

Disposable fins in field repair. Kind of reminds me of the brakes solution in Ford Vs Ferrari!Landed in a gravel parking lot.

Five minutes later, good as new. No rocket surgery required.

More heresy from the apostate who uses packing tape and hot glue.
3D printed. No alignment jig necessary. Nylon bolts. Hard landing damage to fins easily repairable in the field.

The only thing I'd consider calling heretical is how the fin can is larger than the body tube. And that's got nothing to do with the bolt-on fins, as I see it in a whole lot of printed fin cans. Why, when it would be so easy to print a shoulder?

Brackets to attach another rail segment. This pad was made from leftover parts I had laying around the garage.What is the black thing at the top of the rail for ?
Right. No glue.so obviously no glue required for the fin root/motor tube point of connection, correct?
Sure, that could be done. Would have to think about how it would integrate with the motor mount.Me Like!
