Mach 10 - dumb question
What was the thickness of the balsa on the Mach 10 kit? I'm looking at cloning one.
Thanks! |

There is a complete and virtually ready to fly Mach 10 in a batch of rockets that was donated to my club. The surfaces are all 3/32, which corroborates what Semroc is doing with the laser cut parts linked to above.

Long enough to see it when the marker cone falls. Just let it hang out the back of the rocket.

The streamer in that same built example I mentioned is 3 feet long, and tied in the middle to the nose cone.
