Hey All,
I was wondering how many of you friction fit motors? That's virtually the only way I build mine - I have used blind t-nuts, but I like the friction fit with some 2" masking tape. I'm using Pro38 hardware and am taking out the ejection charges - using and altimeter for deployment. I have yet to have a motor come out the back - and I have had some hefty motors. On my site www.stlrocketry.com the J1383 motor was completely friction fit into the airframe. It didn't fall out and it was a HEAVY motor. I'm guessing it weighed 2+ lbs and at deploy I never had it try and go ballistic. Just wanted to get some ideas on what ya'll thought about friction fit.
