I have a few questions for you guys.
So I have been shopping for components for my 3D printed build and I had a few things I was not certain about. I also have some questions about the fins. This is all of course just to see what your recommendations/opinions are so I can grow my concepts.
- Should I go with a 54mm blue tube motor tube or with a LOC one? My body will be .1in wall mailing tube so I was not certain if the blue tube would really be worth it.
- For the 3D printed fins, do you guys think that epoxy would be the best thing to attach the carbon fiber rods with? The epoxy I have get pretty hot and I wouldn't want it to melt the fins.
- For the fins, what do you guys think about me coating the entire fin in a thin coat of epoxy to fill in all the imperfections and then sand it down to a nice finish? This could also harden the fin and add additional variety of resonance.
Attached is a list of all the components I will be buying for the rocket.
All feedback/ideas are welcome, I have open ears!
