So, I wanted to try to build a Magg that would comply with level zero regulations.
1500G or less total weight
125g or less of propellant
Average thrust per motor less than 80N
Total thrust less than 320N
The plan is a twin 29mm Magg sporting 2 G53FJs.
G53 has 60 grams of propellant and 53N of average thrust
so -
3.3lb rocket
120 grams of propellant (in 2 separate motors)
106N average thrust (in 2 separate motors)
So to kick this off I needed to see what I was starting with. kit out of the bag, with all hardware, less glue and paint comes in at 1498G
Time to start shaving weight.
