What I am suggesting is use just enough of the t20, and bt20, to mount the motor mount in the base of the model, then take my dremel and take out the stop at the top, smoothing out the inside, and coat the inside with a thin coat of epoxy, leaving the "almost" 24mm size at the top of the model as a larger area for parachutes. The pictures show a 24mm motor fits in the top, while the 2nd photo shows the body, to T20 to BT20 to 18mm motor.

Sorry about that, the only vendor I knew that called them T20s is BMS.
His T20 tubes are the same as the BT-20.
If you've got the Quest style 20mm tubes you'll get the best fit.
Your plan for more room for the parachute space is a good one. The MPC kit had a 20" thin Mylar chute. How they got that in that small area is beyond me! |
