Just arrived
This will be my first Fibreglass Kit
Any suggestions as I build appreciated
Awaiting arrival of BadAss Rocketry AV Bay and EggFinder Quantum
Not worked out Recovery or Tracking yet
Thinking about a Rocketman Rotating Star Chute - just because I like them and an EggFinder TX
First issue:
Thin walled Motor tube is thinner than expected so motor retainer is quite loose on test fitting
Quick email to Mach 1 and told yes that's correct.
Use JB Weld and slide motor in to centre -remove it and allow to cure
Mach 1 recommend Aeropack 38mm L retainer, but PML HAMR 38mm is a slightly better fit -should I go with that to reduce the play?
