Cherokee-E Model Rocket - AslansMonkey

Description

You'll need a BT-55 body tube, shock cord, 18" parachute and screw eye bolt to complete this rocket. You will NOT need a motor tube as it's part of the 3D design. Print the fins with support, of course. The nose cone base is designed to use an eye bolt. Epoxy the nut to the INSIDE of this piece and run the eye bolt through the bottom. That way you can add washers for weight as needed. And you WILL need them, especially running an E motor. I had to add like 5 fender washers to get it to swing stable. The 24mm adapter print as is (rotate it 90 degrees, if necessary, to print it flat). This part is UNMODIFIED from ellipiticaloptician's original design. The fin can is sized for an E motor. You can use an adapter from here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3080175) to use a D motor, should you choose, or that adapter and one of the parts from here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3071923) to use Aerotech motors (which go up to F in this size). Before you ask, no, I don't think the Cessaroni motor casings will fit. There's a stop at the top of the tube for the Estes E motors. These fit the standard Estes BT-55 body tubes. If you want it to match for scale, you'll have to cut the tube down by they exposed height of the fin can (100 mm) assuming you're using a full BT-55 body tube. You'll have to scale the decals to fit. I scaled mine to 46% to get them to fit (as measured by the body tube wrap). You may want to start there and adjust as…
