Hello all. I'm new to this site after having spent years building rockets. And by years I mean on and off throughout that time. I'm excited to have found this forum.
I have two questions. The first is if there are many out there who are absolute scratch builders. What I mean by that is those who use everything but typical rocket materials for their creations. I build everything from scracth (i.e. motor sleeves and mounts) or use junk for the rest. I've attached a picture of a rocket I built using a BBQ sauce bottle for the body and a McDonald's toy for the nose cone.
My second question is about fiberglass. Any suggestions on where to get fiberglass sheets for strengthening tubes, fins, etc.?
Good to be here.
