Okay, this is TopRamen's fault. He started a thread titled, "Anyone Here Have a Dual 29mm Cluster Rocket???" Well, I don't, and that was all it took.
I'm calling this one "Dual Exhaust", because of its 2x29mm cluster. (I'm open to suggestions, if anyone has a better name.) It will be 4" diameter, 86.5in long, will have five 1/4" plywood fins, and a boattail. The nose cone will be a fiberglass conical I ordered from Performance Hobbies. I ordered the LOC components from Discount Hobby Center. I considered turning the nose cone, but a solid basswood cone would be heavier than the fiberglass, and it's over stable as it is. Plus it's difficult to find 4-1/2" square pieces of basswood. I also considered turning the boattail, but decided on a LOC 3.9-3.0 transition instead. The plastic transition will have much thinner walls than a basswood one would, and give me more clearance for the two motor tubes.
