Hello. I am thinking ahead to my next build this winter and am considering the Loc Precision Big Nuke 3E. Beings the body tubes are made out of thick wall paper and not fiberglass, how big or fast of motors would I be able launch with this rocket without fiberglassing over the tubes? As long as I stay below Mach will it take what I throw at it? Also, is it hard to fiberglass over paper tubes if you’ve never done it before? Build time wise I wonder if I’d be just as well off purchasing a pre-painted fiberglass kit instead and then I wouldn’t have to worry about all the extra work of painting and integrating brass shim stock into the paper tubes for the sheer pins. Extra time is something I do find hard to come by at this stage of life but am eager to build a bigger rocket. Has any one else walked this road and have advice for me? Thanks so much.
