I'd use an Aerotech D24 or D21.

I flew a Q-Jet C12 at NARAM that Gary Rosenfield gave me. I put it into this “no-name” rocket that had a molded plastic fin unit, with plastic retainer, the kind that has two locking tabs. The motor was slightly recessed from the bottom. There was not only no soot on the retainer cap, but no signs of distress from heat, either on the cap, or the fin unit innards.

This sounds promising. Sounds like we may have motors to work with. The recovering device is the next problem to solve but that's true no matter plastic or paper tubing rockets. Thanks for the input LeeR. |

Mr. Mole, Glad to provide any insight I can, but, realistically, in the next 6 months, I’ll be challenged to get my Saturn V completed prior to the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 moon landing in July. I am not sure I’ll have time to work more on the Vostok. I guess I can take advantage of your experience getting the Vostok flying successfully, and maybe others will be motivated to build one. I have an Estes Saturn 1B that is built, but needs painting. And I also have the Estes 1/100 Little Joe II kit. I’d love to have all those done. Probably wishful thinking. And my wife wants to move closer to kids and grandkids, so now we are prepping our home for sale, and looking at property to build. On a positive note, we looked at some new homes recently, and one had a 2300 sq. ft. basement, with tall 9’ ceilings. My current basement woodshop and rocket room is about 800 sq. ft.!
