Bt instead of nc separation.

[AtomicStorm]

So i just started another build. It is the estes vapor w/29mm upgrade. I was thinking about glueing the nose cone to the body tube, then only glueing half of the coupling to the bottom side of the bt that has the motor in it. I then would have a baffle with a i hook connected to the coupler that is glued to the bottom bt and i guess the other side of the shock cord would be connected to the nose cone. Just wondering if it will have enough pressure to seperate the body tubes or should i just let it seperate at the nose cone like the plans say?

Make an ebay in the NC.

Dual deploy?

You could do that if you want too. The ejection charge will have enough juice to blow the BT and attached nose cone off. The pressure is the same both ways. Just remember to attach the nose cone to the body tube. You could use plastic rivets or screws.

After much thought, i have decided to go with dual deployment. I want i lightweight rocket with potential for serious upgrades in the future. I think i want the fins to be ttw and im going with paper skined balsa for lightweight. Already working on a 32" /1.1 ripstop chute w/ 20"spillhole. All kevlar and lightweight dacron shrouds has been ordered. Just got the fin alignment tool in today so im stoked to use that. I need to order electronics now. Maybe the fs mini, i want to be able to put it in my camanchee 3 and herc/payload project easily too.

Sorry the FS Mini is out of stock until he can get more supplies. You could go with the Firefly if you're looking for light weight. No datalogging but flashes the altitude.

I was looking at the stratologger and if i ever plan on upgrading or getting the beeping device then i might as well go ahead and spend a little extra and get something nice.
