Re: Designing a rocket for a given motor

Eric, that design is so 70's !

Feature not bug

But he didn't specify a decade. In fact, he didn't specify much at all. The H220T has a pretty nice punch for a commercial motor. If I lived out west near a big desert flying area, I'd have a rocket like the one I described.

LOC Graduator (2.6" airframe) will work with a 9 sec delay, 2300'. Problem is, that is at 13 oz. If you overbuild for durability and to fly larger motors without shreds, so 13 oz. won't work, that is a bare minimum. Suggestion would be to put some numbers in WRASP and add some weight to see what you get.

thanks guys, I'll check out wrasp, these are 38mm black powder motors with a failure rate so looking for something low in cost, loc is a good start , Le

Teleflite used to offer this kit but with a 38mm mount:

LOC Aura or an Aerotech Mustang with a good shock cord...

Should scoot nicely and deploy before getting too far up there... ;-)
