First, I apologize if this was already answered in the past, my search turned up no results.
I am currently working on my level 3 rocket build and am facing a few design issues. I have always seen people secure the nose coupler to the nose cone with epoxy. I would like to use 4/40 or 6/32 Button head SS bolts so that I can easily disassemble the nose to add weight, add transmitters, etc.
The rocket is a Mad Cow Mania but I have modified it to a 98mm min diameter.
I am curious to see if anyone has had bad results with mixing bolts and fiberglass. If you have done it and had success what did you do?
I understand that having exterior bolts will affect the air flow and drag of the rocket. To minimize this I will use the smallest button heads I feel are strong enough to take the loads.
Thanks in advance for your help!
