For those of you who don't have one yet..... , the motor block in the booster is used for motor retention so it's positioned in the aft end of the booster BT instead of the forward end.


That's exactly the way the Apogee and Apogee II boosters were designed.

Can you give us a root edge measurement on the booster fins?
