Model Forum / General / Rockets / February 2005LLug size???
Hi, I've been out of the game for awhile and need some advice........ I'm planning on scratch building and have a few 1/4in. LLugs (Paper) lying around.......... I would like to know what size/power/weight rocket they are suitable for??? Any help appreciated, Clint > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Any help appreciated, > Clint Should work fine for "large model" / "mid power" - E through G size, maybe a little bigger, depending on how sturdy the paper lugs are. (Are they Estes "soda straw" style or the LOC "cardboard" style?) -dave w LOC.

Those should be fine in 1/4" size up through low-end HPR - something like a 2 or 3 inch diameter, 3 foot long rocket, weight up to a few pounds, motors up to H or so. (For a larger rocket in the 4 inch dia. range, I'd probably prefer 3/8" lugs if I wasn't just using rail buttons.) -dave w > > > (Are they Estes "soda straw" style or the LOC "cardboard" style?) > > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > -dave w If you feel marginal, add 1/16" dowels to both sides of the base of the lug.

Still undecided... do what I did to a few rockets in that range. two loc 1/4 lugs cut in two, and formed like needle ends on one. rail buttons on the other. makes it easy to find an open pad. > > Generally 1-5 pounds.
