This is my first venture into RocketryForum.
I'm getting ready to construct my first Saturn V - the Apollo 11 Saturn V #2157
I'm wanting to fly this with E, F, and possibly G engines. So, I'll be using the 24 mm engine tube as the stuffer tube.
In order to survive an F or G engine, I'm debating using:
1) original .045 cardboard centering rings
2) .195 foamboard [foam core with light cardboard on each side]
3) 1/32" plywood
4) 1/16" plywood
My pick would be the foamboard. What are your recommendations? I'm sure there are other threads dealing with this issue.
