Here is the current design.
You may be wondering why 2 similar motors are being used instead of the traditional big booster -> smaller sustainer setup. The reason lies in the fact that the biggest motor this tube can take is an I-350 sugar PVC and based on simulation in Open Rocket the motor seems to be strong enough to lift the extra weight of the upper stage with ease.
Material / Components List (so far) - sans motors
- 1 and 1/2 blueprint tube or a full length fabric tube
- 2 small umbrellas
- 1 large umbrella
- 2x 1.25 PVC end caps for bulkhead and ejection plunger
- Nosecone made from body filler
- 1.5 inch PVC drain pipe for couplers and nosecone neck
- Solitex or MDF wood based Clipboard - for fins
- Screws? I forgot the size they are but I know i need 8 1/8 Self tapping screws
- 2x 1/4 inch machine screw for launch guides - the head of these are big enough to function as buttons
