Hi all, I was looking at picking up one of wildman's minimum diameter blackhawk kits, specifically the 38mm, and wanted to ask for some tips/suggestions on motor retention. This is my first minimum diameter rocket, and second rocket overall, so I'm a little unsure of how to go about the process. I was looking into some of the motor mounts that are epoxied into the BT and screw into the fwd closure, however, if possible, I would like some type of motor retention that allows me to utilize motor eject as a backup, and it also seems like that would possibly limit the size of motors I would be able to fly. Another option I was looking into were the slimline retainers from GiantLeapRocketry and simply mounting one of those to the bottom of the BT like a standard motor retainer. Seeing as it is a minimum diameter kit, I would like to get good performance out of it, but I don't mind sacrificing a little performance for easy of use/construction. Any and all advice and tips are welcome!
