Hey guys,
I'm currently planning my L3 rocket which will hopefully be flying at Airfest in March. Without going into much detail the rocket will a sub-min diameter rocket going very fast (M3.5+). As I have read there is a restriction on any metal being bolted directly to the motor case, which in my case would be a transition from the case to the nosecone. I'm currently finishing up the drawing for the transition in CAD in order to run a FEM analysis on it to see if it'd be possible to machine it out of G10 however if this is not capable of withstanding with a decent margin of safety I'll need to resort to aluminum. Before I email a BOD member I figured i'd ask for input here first to see if anyone has experience or insight.
Thanks,
Connor
