Hey guys, I'm new to the forum.
I was hoping for some feedback on a project I've been working on for some time, but kind of need some incentive and feedback to complete.
I thought it would be fun to try working on something a bit different, so I've been putting together a BT80 Angled Tri-Mount rocket. If I finish it, I was going to dub it 'Cerberus' and either watch it CATO... or launch.
The engine shroud fillets were made with a few layers of drywall filler and primer. The primer used (the teal color) is spray putty from an automotive shop (Repco here in Australia). The bulkheads are all card stock purchased from Qualman Rocketry.
I was considering developing the upper fins to be servo controlled, but I've decided against it since It would take about a year of farting about to get anything working.
Currently I'm not super happy with the engine shrouds, as the engine retention rings I have make the bottom of the rocket super ugly. I was considering re-doing the entire thing to have the retention rings hidden away under the shrouds.
Anyway... What do you think?
