pike55.ork Description
This will be my L3 rocket. Only in the very beginnings of construction.
CR's attached to MMT with Proline 4500 epoxy.
AV bay vent band secured with US Composite.
Recovery harness custom made by Onebadhawk.
Because payload volume is so small, have to go with 84" Iris Fruity chute.
CATO 30" drogue.
12/23/15 update: Finished MMT. Installed in booster. Fins tacked, then internal fillets installed.
12/24/15 update: External fillets complete
01/31/19 update: after hard landing on last launch, I had to cut away the retainer and modify a bit. Had to remove about 2" of MMT and sft CR due to damage. Added new CR and glued right up against the aft fins. Will use different motor retention, probably fender washers.
