I built a Minnie-Magg for my level 1 and flew it a lot this past year. I had a few "issues" with motor ejection, so for next year I decided I needed a new rocket to try electronic deployment. I could have just bought a payload bay and an extension for the Minnie-Magg, but that seemed boring.
So I have been looking through the forum and came upon something called a Nuclear Sledgehammer:
This seemed really cool, but quite large, and not made anymore. Also, the construction was seemingly very complicated, I like the simple LOC construction.
Then I got to thinking that the sweep of the rear fins was nearly the same as my Minnie-Magg and.........
The parts here are a complete 5.5" Minnie-Magg kit, a Wolverine body tube [34"] that is sold separately, a long LOC nosecone with the weight system, and the LOC 5.5" altimeter bay.
I had Scott at Dragon Rocketry cut the wings and the extra bulkheads I needed. The view of the interior:
I plan to build the entire fin can outside the body tube like I did on the Minnie-Magg, just looking for a warmer day.
I didn't want to call it a Nuclear Sledgehammer so the name seemed appropriate for a smaller version.
