Yes ...good question ?Why is the shock cord external? Yes, what you describe sounds much more secure than a hole in a fin, but why not one of the many internal connection methods?

When I've got fragile fins, this is an easy way to bring it down sideways.Why is the shock cord external? Yes, what you describe sounds much more secure than a hole in a fin, but why not one of the many internal connection methods?

The Astron Cobra was available as a Design of the Month plan and as a kit.When I've got fragile fins, this is an easy way to bring it down sideways.
Why would it not be? It's still advertised as such.Can you confirm that the mini mag is still ''Loc N Fin'' construction?
I don't have a 5.5" fin guide.
Once it shows up I can.Can you confirm that the mini mag is still ''Loc N Fin'' construction?

Make a payloadbay.com fin guide, print it on paper, glue it to a sheet of Dollar Store foamcore board, cut it out with an exacto and done. I have used them on up to 7.5" and 5 fins.Can you confirm that the mini mag is still ''Loc N Fin'' construction?

With three 18 mm motors it's a fairly heavy rocket, and the fins are rather long. Having it land upside down should avoid breaking off a fin.Why is the shock cord external? Yes, what you describe sounds much more secure than a hole in a fin, but why not one of the many internal connection methods?
Not if you put an appropriate spacer under the forward button, like a washer or a loop of the same kevlar cord. If you care.The rear rail button will sit a hair higher than the front button due to the kevlar cord...
Or a shim?Not if you put an appropriate spacer under the forward button, like a washer or a loop of the same kevlar cord. If you care.
If you're OCD then you might want to put a thin shim under the front button.
I don't know whether to or . Did you get it down? Will you get it down?
Admit it, you went and edited that in after I posted, didn't you. I couldn't have had a brain fart that big. You have to have edited it. ADMIT IT!Or a shim?
You know that I would never do that to you, buds.Admit it, you went and edited that in after I posted, didn't you. I couldn't have had a brain fart that big. You have to have edited it. ADMIT IT!
Give the man a break, he's been busy.You know that I would never do that to you, buds.
But still enjoying your comments and repartee.
Just wondering when you're gonna post on what YOU did today that was rocketry related?

Mine bought late last year has that feature.
Yes, a bunch of the 7.5" kits have the MMAS, but since that has a 5.5" mother tube it only works in that biggest size.I think all the 4" and 5.5" models are that way. The 7" models had some weird issues.
My 5.5" Goblin was Estes easy, to build. Maybe even easier. With the center centering ring sanded to be kinda loose on the motor tube, the fins self alighn.
Bit of a depressing point. Lately I can hardly get up off the couch. All I do rocketwise is hang out here. But I will be attending NYPOWER this weekend, and hope to have some launches to report during and after. Maybe that'll get the juices flowing and get me back to some projects.Just wondering when you're gonna post on what YOU did today that was rocketry related?
Hope you feel better soon. Rocketry is a good tonic for many things.Bit of a depressing point. Lately I can hardly get up off the couch. All I do rocketwise is hang out here.
