Mega Magg Build thread

This is the second of three rockets I'll be building over the winter break, and probably the first I will finish, as I have most of the parts though I am contemplating a cluster mod for this, adding 4 29's to the central 54. I've also got to put in an Ebay if I do that. I got the kit in today thanks to Wildman, which means my secret santa should be receiving their gift soon too.:wink:

Any way, here's the pic, and the RAW kit .ork I created from precision eyeball measure ments and a 1 gram precise scale.

Big bits of flashing on the nose cone, but I've never seen a plastic nosecone this big either, tips of fins are a little beat up to but that will disappear under epoxy, comes with a 1/2 launch lug which I didn't even bother to put on the .ork much less the rocket. It will get conformal rails or rail buttons.

PROGRESS! sort of. I've changed things up a bit, I'm going to try adding a parachute cannon so I can dual deploy and I've cut new CR's for 4x29mm and a 54mm cluster. Plan is a beefy J motor with 4x H115 sparkies for first flight.
Any who, pictures and video, my local makerspace The Geek Group has a CNC sheet router, so I cut some bulkheads for the chute cannon, ebay and new centering rings. Only two problems, the inner centering rings are a mm to small, and the centering rings are about 2mm to big. :eyeroll:

Circles can be difficult to cut if the CNC is belt driven.

The jogging on the end mill is it rising to leave some tabs, which I made to big as well. That's a Hass sheet router a real piece on industrial CNC equipment, it has no problem cutting circles. They were very consistently wrong, operator error.

I have a clustered Warlock-ish rocket (54mm central w/ 2-38mm outboards) that I use a Chute Release for main deployment. It handles my 10' Rocketman chute just fine.

For my ebay, I did a donut type, and have the altimeter (RRC3) on the ebay lid. With only 3 motor tubes, I have a little more real estate than you, though.
