After the fun I had with Aerotech's Astrobee D, I had to re-group.
What that really means is fly something with a smaller engine vs the biggest MPR motor I can find (G80).
I have an Estes Stormcaster, that is about to become 2 separate birds. I'm going to 1/2 the motor mount, use the lower fin-slotted body tube and build an F40 bird. Leave the lower centering ring unattached, fill the internal fillets with that spray in foam stuff, then put the lower CR in and hope like crazy the motor stop doesn't blow through.
I'm all ears if this is a bad idea.
