Here's the outline of my L2 bird.
I saw DG&A Rocketry's website and really fell in love with their Armageddon rocket. I can't afford $150 for a rocket so I decided I could build it myself for a whole lot less.
Mine will be a little smaller than the original, but that's ok.
I have a 54.5" long 3" ID tube for the main body with a 15" long tube for the payload section. I plan on using 1/2" sign plywood for the CR's, bulkhead, fins and canards for lots of weight. I also have a couple of PML 3" couplers laying around. About the only part I'll have to buy is a PML 3" nosecone and 38mm tubing (which I bought at Whitakers in June) and some various hardware.
I want the weight on it since I don't plan on using any electronics or dual deployment and want to keep the altitude between 2000 and 2500 ft.
Here's the Rocksim file I've created for it. Thanks Milo and Rstaff for letting us attach .rkt files now!
I'll keep ya'll posted on the progress!
