It's happening, I have decided to make forged hair fins and needed a rocket to fly them in. They will be going on a submin rocket, with the motor being an experimental green colored full I motor (approximately an I-650). This rocket will be flown at the Friends of Amateur rocketry site this weekend (September 16th).
The fins are forged hair cut from my own head. This rocket was inspired when I was cutting my hair and looked at the floor and realized that my hair looks remarkably like carbon. I had been making forged carbon and fiberglass fins for rockets before and they have performed very well at high speeds (https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/i500-submin-ihop.181817/).
Picture of the molding process:
Upon cracking open the mold, I was absolutely shocked by the quality of the parts:
After a little bit of cleanup:
Final 3 fin set:
