Update to 2 stage rocket

After a failure with a 2 stage rocket launch last month, I have modified the clamp system with extensions. The previous failures were caused by the sleeve distorting under pressure and allowing the clamp to release. The extensions are designed to clamp to the upper stage which has a firm shape and should not allow the clamp to release prematurely... Here's hoping.



A link to last months failure is here. (about half way through)

    Thanks Ben. haven't done any of this for a few years. No one else in Brissie seems to do it and it's hard to be inspired going solo.
