Summary

NOTE: While the basic design has flown, some tolerances and features have been changed since the initial version. These changes have not been test printed, but should improve the fit and durability of some parts.

Checked Baggage, named for its notional method of transport to launches, is a medium complexity high-power model rocket. It is designed to fly on 38mm rocket motors. The motor mount is designed to have a short section of Blue Tube or other suitable 38mm motor tubing glued into the mount as thermal protection. A “No Insulator” motor mount that does not use the insulating tube is included but has not been tested. A rail is required for launching this model.

  • One 4” x 3 foot Shipping Tube
  • Masking tape
  • Thin superglue
  • 15 feet of 5/16 tubular nylon or equivalent
  • Suitable parachute (48 to 60 inch)
