Recovery and Harnesses from Ky at The Rocketman
|

20 Ft Tall, 11.5 Inches Wide Motors Considered Are:
1 Central AMW N4000 or N2700 Blue Baboon (Depending on final weight)
3 Outboard AMW L1300 Blue Baboons
Recovery - 8 ft Drogue & 24 Ft PRO XP MAIN Parachute with nose cone on a separate 8 ft
chute.
100 ft separates booster from sustainer
Photographed below on November 8, 2008 are the parts from PML.
The (4) 4ft - 11.5 inch wide airframes were fiberglassed.
The 3 huge fins were also fiberglassed.
The inside of the 4 ft. nose cone was fiberglassed.
NOTE: This is NOT the original kit from The Rocketman - I added in many more options:
Central 98 MM Motor Tube and 3 outboard 54 MM Motor Tubes with custom cut centering rings.
4 Inches of Airframe cut off of the booster section to be attached to the altimeter bay.
And, I added in additional couplers for added strength and thickness to parts of the airframe.
Below - putting parts in place for test fitting prior to using epoxy.
Over 4.5 ft tall there is a central 98mm motor tube and 3 outboard 54mm motor tubes.


Above - test fitting motor tube components.

Fins attached and fiberglassed to motor mount - see below: Astro (from Centuri - 17 inches tall) used as
size reference.
Ast


For size reference, you see the ASTRO from Century on top, a Estes Saturn V on the Table in the back,
and, by the way, the table behind the DINOSAURS ROCK-et EXTREME is 6 ft wide. From here, I am going to attache the second rail button to
the aft of the rocket (two more go on the next section). Then, some internal fillets for the fin/airframe. And then, which I will
photograph later - mega foaming the interior to seal everything up.

The interior of the airframe you see above will be filled with Mega Foam.



Below is the 4 ft section that goes above the aft section you see above.
Looking inside the ariframe below you see a strip of wood and a coupler.
This unit attaches two (2) more unistrut rail guides.

Below you can get an idea again of the size of this rocket.
Note the two standard doors in the background.
Here you see the first 2 sections "screwed together" with the 4 Unistrut Rail guides.
