The part was designed in [FreeCAD](https://www.freecadweb.org/) and cut on Bdale's [Probotix](https://www.probotix.com/) Comet CNC router. +I originally anticipated this would be another "dual deploy from one +airframe break" design, which to be honest I've had mixed results using. But +once I saw how the longer coupler in the kit was intended to be assembled, I +changed my mind. The kit came with a switch band for the coupler that is +meant to be both ebay and nose coupler, and when I realized there's enough +volume inside the nose cone to hold my choice of "laundry", a "traditional" +dual deploy setup with two pyro initiated separation events became plan A. + +The airframe geometry should easily support a 4-grain 98mm motor, which can +be a "full M", so this should be a fun airframe to make research motors for! + ## Design / Simulation File ## Construction Log
