Has anybody ever pulled the mesh out and reinstalled on an assembled rocket? Id like to remove the mesh on a few kits and make sure they arent all wadded up or obstructed. I imagine getting it out would be easy, how would I get it back in?
For general maintenance, you don't have to remove it. Use a pointy stick from the business end to poke around and "loosen" any compacted areas. If fully removed, I would think that shoving it back up the motor mount would be just fine. When it comes time to replace the mesh, use a simple "Chore Boy" scrubber.
Nah, don't listen to the naysayers. The cooling mesh works great for MPR. Makes packing the recovery super easy. I have an Aerotech Cheetah that's flown for 15 years with the original mesh.Crochet hook. Then leave it out and use nomex.
