Hi, I'm planning to scratch build an ~ 80 inch rocket (around 50 oz, powered by a 29mm hobby and 2 24mm), and I wanted to cut the fins myself. I'd like to use some kind of wood, but I'm wondering:
a. what kind of and thickness wood would be good?
b. what would be a good size for that wood?
c. would a low-power dremel with a cut-off wheel work for cutting? is that precise?
Also, around what length of shock cord do you think I need? I currently have a 48 inch parachute, but do you reckon that would work with this?
Thanks a lot,
Jesse
