Alpha-E2 24mm Minimum Diameter Flight Tests

In the spirit of high power rockets that are often designed with motors that take up most of the body tube, I decided to build a 2nd (I lost my first one while testing) minimum diameter ⁨@EstesRockets1 "Alpha" that flies on 24mm C, D and E motors. ⁨@mobrockets designates this model: "Alpha-E2." On this model, I attached the motor hook onto the outside of the body tube by securing it with wood glue and gauze. Without a motor mount placed into the Alpha body tube, a 24mm motor fits perfectly. Using a 24mm to 18mm adaptor, I can fly this model on all 18mm motors as well. Other modifications: 3/16th launch lug, Apogee mylar steamer, and nose cone packed with about .5oz of clay to set the CG correctly while flying with an E motor. First flight was on a B6-4 using the adaptor at McQueen Park. From there, I moved to more versatile Arizona Trust Land site and launched the Alpha-E2 on a C11-3, followed by a D12-7, and finishing with an E12-6. I did not utilize an altimeter on these flights as my main goal was to see the results of flying on progressively stronger motors. I lost my E1 model on its E motor flight. I recovered the E2 model after its E flight! 00:07 Alpha-E2 Intro 00:14 E2 on a B6-4 02:11 E2 on a C11-3 03:57 Field repair 04:31 Grasshoppers 05:07 E2 on a D12-7 07:59 E2 on an E12-6
