I'm building a rocket using 4" pvc sewer pipe for the airframe. I was wondering if anyone else might know of any links or useful information on using this material for airframes. I'm particularly interested in seeing ways of gluing or bonding it. I've decided to use glassed fins in a through the wall to motor mount configuration to keep the fin attachment as strong as possible but I also need to attach the glassed C.Rings onto the inside of the tube I was considering using West Systems epoxy with small SS screws as anchors through the airframe.
Any links comments or tips for me are appreciated.
I've just completed a really nice nose cone for this project. I wirecut EPS and covered that with 2 layers of cloth and then finished it off to a nice smooth finish using fairing filler. I plan to do something similar to make a fiberglass motor tube now.
