Jim, The urethane foam in the transition is a great idea. I would have never thought about foam. I used the poster board and double it to make it stronger....
Be careful to make sure both ends of the transition and the seams are good and tight. I drilled four holes in the bulkhead at the fat end and poured in small...
My only flight so far has been on a G80T4. There's no engine block, so it will take any 29mm motor. I would be concerned about a high thrust motor because...
Thanks for the info. On the Saturn 1B, Sheri's website says in can be launched on a G80. Not a good idea! My first flight was on a AT H123 38mm motor and...
