[F-FT] Renegade instruction problems?

Hi David,

only issue that I know of has to do with the spacing of the side pods on the booster. Clearance can be alittle tight on the sustainer.

I agree with TF, ignore the drawing in the instruction sheet showing the booster pods being located right next to the sustainer body tube and give them some space or you will have a very tight fit when attaching the booster to the sustainer.

Secure attachment of the small outboard pods is also needed, one of mine popped off when I dropped the rocket on the carpet during construction and I went back and added serious fillets. No problems since.

You mean put a 'standoff' between the pods and the body? I built mine like the instructions said. I haven't flown it yet(too windy at the last JMRC launch), but I don't think it will pose *too* many problems... I am worried about the outboard pods, though.

He completely disregarded instructions and built the sucker to run on

A standoff would work but really isn't needed. Just make sure there is some space between the pods and sustainer so the pods don't rub on the sustainer body and hinder separation of the two stages.
