Did you ever get that one idea that gets stuck in your head that just won't go away? And the more you think on it, the more it becomes entrenched in your mind.
I've had this idea of building an upscaled Big Daddy for over a year now, and it just wouldn't go away. So when Wildman Rocketry had a Black Friday sale, I knew my opportunity had arrived. I picked up a LOC Mega-Magg at a huge discount (THANKS @WILDMANRS !!). I went with it because it comes with a modular motor mount and the adjustable nose weight system that I wanted, and still saved money vs. buying individual components! I have plans on flying it on 54mm J/K motors at my local club launches and up to a 2-grain CTI M1560 at a bigger launch sometime in the future. And maybe throw in a 5 x 38mm cluster or 2...just for fun. Gotta love that modular motor mount system!
The plan is to replace the pre slotted 3 fin body tube with tube from LOC cut down to 26", cut my own fins out of 7-layer 3/8th" aircraft plywood from balsausa.com, and wrap it all in carbon fiber...all the coolest kids are doing it!
Should be fun!
I'll attach the .ork file below when I get home.
