Money just got REALLY tight around my house, so I don't have the $$$ to buy lots of rocketry stuff (bummer) until about September.
Today, I flew my Edmonds Deltie B on an A8-3 instead of a B4-2 because a) Rob Edmonds recommended an A8-3 and b) on my last flight I almost had to chase the thing into the next county using a B4-2.
The rocket went up about 20 feet, immediately turned upside down and "lawn darted", causing the glider to break into a few pieces. Then the motor burned a hole about 1.5" long in the body tube before the ejection charge went off.
Instead of buying a new body tube and starting over, can I repair it with something and is it worth it?
Thanks,
Jim
