I'm in the design phase of a 54mm min. dia. rocket. I've got everything planned except how to retain the recovery harness. The rocket will be head-end deploy (altimeter) with a JLCR for simplicity and low cost. I don't know what motor I'll be using, so I can't plan on using a harness that attaches to the motor. I'm thinking of using a rod that goes across the body tube. Don't know what dia. rod, or what material. Was also wondering if it would be helpful to split the body tube and stick a coupler in for additional wall thickness. Ideas? How did you do your min. dia. rocket?
