When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Are there any tricks or tips to friction fitting motors for LPR / MPR?
I installed the D12 motor in the sustainer of my Ahpla today. I used regular masking tape and wrapped it around the motor casing until it was an interference fit into the cardboard BT-50H motor tube.
I actually used a pair of pliers to finalize getting the motor into position.
This rocket has 3.6 ounces of nose cone / ballast weight. So it's going to take a lot of force to push it off the rocket. I'm trying to avoid ejecting the motor and ending up with a lawn dart.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments!
