Ellis G20-3 ideas?

[Stymye]

I have 2 Ellis G20-3 (5.4 sec burn)
does anyone have an idea for a rocket that will work with this reload?

I already have enough saucers,,and cones ect...
I'm looking for something more "rocket -like"

Scratch, minimum diameter

or a monocopter

Eliminator, if it is 29, rip out the MMT

 

[Stymye]

would those work without zippering the rocket?
the delay seems awfull short and I haven't been able to come up with a motor file
(need to create one)

the size is 29mm X 5- 1/2" long

 

[rstaff3]

Ack, you are right, that is awfully short. You will most likely have to tweak the weight....or build a monocopter...

I flew one in my upscale Tri-F-O at the night launch. Awesome boost. Probably got 250 feet out of it, even with packing 3 light sticks, and a homemade electric light using a flashlight bulb, and 2 AAA batteries. The flame looked great at night. With it's low thrust, and long burn, I'd think something like a Fat Boy. Something with lots of drag, so it'll slow quite a bit during the 3 second delay. Hmm, got me thinking bout a 29mm Outlander now!!

I would suggest a saucer or spool (or similiar high drag design). Slow 'n' low with a loooong burn

Ejection delay? I don't need no stinkin' ejection delay!

FWIW, I'm planning to launch my Art Applwhite 29mm Qubit this Saturday on an EM G35 (~4 sec burn). I can't wait!

lalligood,

We're thinking along the same lines, and add to your list a lightweight tetrahedron.

I think I'll try an upscale of this one


Rogue Aerospace - Deep Surface Probe

 

[rstaff3]

That should be fun!

.....turns out the original uses a 1" dia (actually Quest T-25)
by 2' of BT

I plan to do a 2X upscale (2" X 4') ,I have some Centuri St-20 but I hate to use all of it, on one rocket

can mailing tube be purchased in 2" diameter?

I'll start annother thread once I get started on it

thanks

Reinforce the bejeesus out of a Edmonds Deltie Thunder and make sure you have some walking shoes.

You would have to kit-bash the pod as it is 24mm

May be a B/G duration winner there...
