Awhile back I listed some options and now that I am getting very close to kitting these I thought getting some feed back would be a good thing.
I am planning on two configurations;
1. Medium (5+4) 4 captive 18mm SRMs
2. Heavy
The poll asks about detailed or simple wraps which applies to both the Medium and Heavy, and whether the Heavy should be captive or separating.
Some on the TRF have not agreed with my separating technique citing the possible consequences of one strap-on not igniting. I have had this happen on three occasions, the remaining Core and strap-on have actually flown in a low but recoverable trajectory.
