Quick Question- Will they fit?

[marvSRG]

I don't think it will, but I don't have enough 38mm tubes to see, so does anyone know if 3-38mm's will fit in a 3" airframe?

Thanx

No. A triad of 38mm's have a combined radius of 1 11/16", and that's not yet accounting for wall thicknesses.

you could slot the tubes though and that would let them sit out a little bit and you could fit tthem then

Wouldn't that make the 38mm motors not fit then? Or do you mean the body tube?

Ahh... what I figured. I'll just have to work around that, then

Thanx!

no the body tube, so the body isnt a perfect circle, it kina has 3 small bumps

Ahh. I see now. Sort of like half-boosters. It would make for a pretty cool looking design, though.
