Ill all went wrong when i was using my Nosecone and coupler/shoulder for weight to keep my booster balanced in the stand. I stupidly had the rocket pitched up when I went to remove the nose cone and coupler slid out of the nosecone and down inside the booster and is stuck (friction stuck… no glue).
I’ve tried the “gravity” method of putting the rocket upside down and bouncing it off the floor/plywood/foam…no .
I’ve inverted the rocket and tapped around it outside with a rubber mallet hoping to get it to straighten and drop…. No movement…
Motor mount is installed and it slid past the end of the motor mount so i cant try to tap it out from the back side… i also dont think there is room to get a puller in there (more than a single hook) with the motor mount there…
This isnt my first rodeo but im running out if ideas… Before i leave it in there and get another coupler… any ideas to try?
Thinking of flushing water down in there to see if it will help (parts were washed so there should be minimal dust as it is) but not sure if that would do anything. Coupler was a loose fit before it slid and got stuck.
Details: Booster - 6” x 50”
Coupler: 12” long
Coupler is 27” down from the top of the booster…
