V2 Now available. Features 3 fins that are thicker and less likely to flutter. Also features built in launch lug and shock cord attachment points on the body and nose cone. I have flown it on single stage with no issues, I plan to test dual stage mid January.
This model rocket is design to fly on 1/2 A to C motors. There is also a capability to fly it as a two-stage rocket. Below are the open rocket models for both the single and two stage versions. This rocket should be able to fly on any A-C motor just fine, the only issue is delay charges. Shorter delay charges may cause the nose cone to eject before apogee. Please note that PAHT-CF was chosen to prevent melting of the rocket. It could possibly survive on PLA or ABS. At the bottom of the page is an example of how the rocket is put together along with how motor retention is done.

** I will update the page as I test more motors on this rocket.
Build:
I used an old kit rocket for the parachute and shock cord. The shock is glued to paper and then to the nose cone and about an inch into the body tube. The further in the better.
Motor Retention:
Masking tape is put around the front end of the motor. I found that one single pass around the motor is enough to hold it in firmly. I need to use plyers to remove it.
