Buy Estes Big Daddy 29 mm Vander-Burn Plywood Upgrade Kit — Launch Lab Rocketry
Buy Estes Big Daddy 38 mm Vander-Burn Plywood Upgrade Kit — Launch Lab Rocketry
I would go 29mm. Can't fly 38mm until you're certified. You can use the Estes red plastic adapter to fly composite 24mm motors. Might be too heavy for BP motors. Prolly gonna have to add nose weight to bring the CG back forward.
031799 - Pro Series II™ 3" OD Body Tube - Estes Rockets
Check with Estes Customer service if the Big Daddy nose cone will fit the thicker Pro Series II 3" body tube.
Stock Big Daddy has an NCR BT-30 tube at 3" dia., thin wall.
Apogee has a thin wall 3" tube. Kinda expensive.
They also have a slotted tube but it's for 3 fins.
Cutting an unslotted tube is not that difficult.
Make it better, faster, stronger.
Laters.
