So me and a friend are doing a school project and chose HPR. We are planning to go 14k with a 2 stage I rocket. We ordered the tubes from Madcow Rocketry. The only thing is they are really thin and flimsy. I'm afraid that they might shred, as the rockets top speed is Mach 1.6
Has anyone used these for something similar, or have recommendations if they are safe to use? We are on a tight budget so fiberglass is not really an option. Would the apogee high power or blue tube be better? Here is a pic
So another question, the laser cutter at my high school can only cut 1/8" MDF board or at least the teacher only wants us to. Is there any reason not to use this type of wood? It seems strong enough, but I'm not sure how well it bonds with epoxy and stuff like that. The cut turned out nice though.
Thanks in advance!
