First - a big THANKS to all of you on this forum - by your posts and discussions you have helped our group immensely! This site is a GREAT resource!
O.k. Here is the background.
Our elementary school rocket club is working on plans for a MP cluster vehicle utilizing (4) pro38 1G's. We are carrying payload for other elementary school classes.
Here is the main question(s) : what type of airframe tubing? I have used standard postal tubes with (1) pro38 1g and have had much success. Has anyone had experience with the non-brittle phenolic tubing carried by Giant Leap? What is the difference between this and quantum tubing? Any other suggestions?
Our program is very "hands on" (the students build almost everything) - I would like to avoid fiberglass for now (if possible).
Comments everyone?
