I was just looking at the new issue of sport rocketry, and I found an article about building an extremely strong Estes Guardian. The modifications included:
Quest style shock cord, but with much thicker Kevlar
Wrapping all body tubes with three wraps of 2oz fiberglass
Modifying nose section for altimeter
Fiberglassing the fins on
screwing the nose on to the top section
tip to tip fiberglass on the lower fins
epoxy for all construction
modifying motor mount for Aerotech reloads
This is just crazy. Also because of the excess weight, if it comes in ballistic, it could have the potential to survive and do some damage.
