Progress is happening on this project. I received 3 more sets of fins from
@REK a few days ago, and I finally got around to building a testbed airframe for recovery testing. I've also been working on figuring out how to use a single ematch as a cable cutter for fishing line, to make dual deploy feasible. Now I just need the H14s in my Wildman order, and I'll be in a good position to bring 3 rockets finished and fully prepped to go for the H record at NSL in a bit over a month.
I tried to fly the test rocket this past Saturday at FAR, but ran into too many headaches prepping it. So I'm going to lengthen the nose a bit, and significantly increase the length of the cylindrical section. As I was telling people at FAR, if your design requires the use of specialty nuts because regular 2-56 nuts are too big, you're doing something wrong.
Edit: I just looked back through the thread and saw how I was talking about sacrificing everything on the altar of performance. I might just build one of my 3 motors as a single deploy configuration for NSL, just to see how dang high I can go.
