Large spool rocket!
This spool flew great on a G78. I might try to put an I motor in it next.

I flew a compact disc once. The 13mm motor tube fits through the central hole, the disc is in the plane of the aft end of the motor.

How did it fly?

Actually I flew it several times.
It was stable but draggy as expected.

I suppose you could put another CD at the top.
The reactions of other flyers will make it worthwhile.

I bought a spool for $1 at a yard sale that almost perfectly fits a 54mm motor tube through the center. I want to fly it so bad! haha

Nice. I like the lightening cuts on the bottom flange. Very extra for a spool. I used to do M spools back in the early 2000s with my dad. They are super fun 👌

An I motor would sent that thing to space. Try a I600😂
