I have the greatest better 2/3rds!
Whenever she's out shopping she always looks for stuff I might want to "Make Fly".
A couple days ago she came home with this little 1" diameter x 8" long container of body wash.
Not a big deal it looked like a perfect fit for a BT-20 but I knew if I make it for standard 18mm motors It would have perhaps one flight and be lost.
Instead I used a short section of BT-20 to center the BT-5 motor mount with a T4 stuffer tube to fit the forward opening. decided to use .018" 49strand Stainless steel beading wire about 7" long as the shock-cord anchor around the forward BT 20/BT-5 centering ring with 36" of 70lb kevlar and 18" of 1/8" oval elastic to the T4 coupling/NC shoulder. .030" clear Polycarbonate fins and a standard 1/8" Launch lug complete the build. Since the body is Polyproplyene, epoxy rivet method was used to attach and fillet the 3 fins.
Should be a fine little flying on 1/2A3-2T, A3-4T or A10-3T recovering with a 1/2" x 24" yellow teflon streamer/wadding.
