Ok I am building and flying a 98mm mongoose in a L2 capacity as I have little time/ interest (at the moment of course) for a L3. I am flying it on a 75mm motor. Rocksim is projecting minimum 10k feet at Mach 1.7+ depending on which motor I use. I am wrapping the fins tip to tip in 2x2 twill cf (2 or 3 layers of 5.9oz/ fin depending on how much thicker this makes things). I want to finish this rocket as I find finished cf to be a thing of beauty. I am thinking a few light coats of a slightly metallic copper orange from mid fin up to
the avBay tapering the edges to be translucent so one can see the twill underneath. I think this combined with an aeropoxy finish (6 coats with coats 4-6 nearly completely sanded down for gloss and finished with finesse-it) will make this rocket look amazing. I will taper-cure the rocket to ensure that it is heat resistant.
Question: am I kidding myself? Even with high temp resistance, will my rocket bubble up under the heat and forces?
I know there was a thread on this topic 2 weeks ago but I didn't find it to be conclusive. Thanks!!
