The main problem that I saw with my rocket was that I rushed it. The fins were through the wall, but were only bonded by the outside fillet. I also made the mistake of using CA to bond the electronics bay to the body tube, which is where my parachute was attached. The force of the main coming out detached the upper and lower stages, and the upper stage hit without a chute. There were numerous changes on my rebuild, and I hope to fly it again Sept 29th in Muncie, IN or Midwest Power.
I did use through the wall but it wasn't epoxied well. I only used one fillet on the body tube. The second version I flew also had through the wall construction and fillets on the inside tube, on the inside of the body tube, and on the outside of the body tube. Through the wall construction doesn't help much if you don't epoxy well. :)
I have an idea. From the video it didn't look like you used through the wall fin attachment. Am I mistaken? I think that your fins would have a better chance staying intact if you used through the wall fin attachment.
Dude, my rocketry teacher (i'm ninth grader and on school TARC team) is going as the american representitive of the US to the world rocketry championship in serbia next year. He is doing rc glider and endurence copter.
@QuattroStig O it really had nothing to do with it, was just hyped at the time when i found out he was going by the way, i think he took like 7 place...

Fell in love with the Black Brant series back in the mid 70's. Awesome Job ! Thanks for posting this Video !

Epoxy is the way to go. Inside and out. Thanks for the video. It is a good learning tool for others.
So many people worry about making the rocket go up. But whats more important is the coming down.
cool
i built on once and it just exploded
it was awesome

I believe it was an aerotech J-275 white lightning
Get your own box!

where exactly do you draw the line between 'rocket' and 'model rocket' lol
Pretty cool launch tho
