I did dams for my internals, but I made them out of cardboard and made sure to seal the bottom of them really well. I made sure to tripple check as I was filling them that they weren't leaking, and it actually turned out really nice. Ian Donaldson did a video for Mach 1 rocketry where he did the whole "epoxy rivets" thing, which is what I did as well, and my fins feel really solid.
Filling them is the exact issue, though. Instead of creating internal fillets, filling the whole fin can just adds a bunch of unnecessary weight to the worst spot that you possibly could.
I've always found the Big Bertha design to be so revolting it legit makes me mad when I see it. It's obscene and makes a mockery of the sport. Not only do I not like Big Bertha, I don't like people who like Big Bertha either. Anyone who consciously decides, "Ya know, I think I'll go with the uber phallic adult toy rocket," is deviant of mind and should consult a therapist.
@@RocketVlogs My favorite liftoff photo is befouled by a huge, unpainted, massively-upscaled Big Bertha that was on the pad right next to mine. One of my coworkers commented, "That's awesome! But what's with the d**do?"

This is way more fun than I expected. I feel so much better about my rockets.
I must disagree with the name roasting of Grabthar's Hammer. It's not a mythology reference, it's from Galaxy Quest...
Yep! And that’s part of why I chose that name for it!
@krislhull very cool, IMHO...
This was a great episode idea! I Was kind of hoping for a more brutal roast though...
and yes, there was math in my report. Not all of us dropped out of engineering school. Boom roasted

@RocketVlogs this makes me happy 😅
bro the big bertha is a classic

@@ZeroGPrints I'll fight you.
Why do you guys not like screw switches? What switch do you guys recommend?
Typically we don't use a switch at all. Just twist the wires and press the button!
