First fin tacked on with JB.

So after a bunch of cutting, soldering and removing unnecessary parts from the PCB I have my 160db beeper that will fit in a 29mm tube. It will use a pull switch to start.

Dry fitting time

 

[conman13]

All together

Looks awesome! Please tell me you will paint the NC black or something?

Oh definitely, it will be either black or green. Haven't decide yet. I really want to melt/bubble the paint though

Yes!

Looks great, Connor! Should be an awesome flight.

Looks great!

12" chute, right? How many inches do you have to pack it?

Nate

 

[RAHagen]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it fly!

Nate

about 4.5" to pack the chute with cutter and buzzer Somehow I got it to fit!

What size is the chute Connor?

It's a 12" thin mill from top flight

I thought you got an 18"?

 

[conman13]

I thought you got an 18"?

hmmmm...maybe I dont really remember

 

[nute]

IIRC this issue was already discussed, but 12" does sound pretty small. I'm planning to go with 15" for my first flight- granted yours will probably be lighter than mine

Your right it is 18" thin mill.

Cool- that sounds like it should work well. What altitude are you planning to deploy it at?

400-600ft. I'm waiting until I get my telemetrum Back to see what it can actually do.

Where'd it go?

Landru for 3d sled purposes

Well anyways, I plan on finishing this over my break this week. Any thoughts on what size PVC I should use for fillets? I haven't really thought about it yet and am not bringing this into Lowes to see what would work well

 

[patelldp]

1/2" or 5/8"

I used a 1/2 inch copper pipe coupler for my 38mm project.

Greg

 

[conman13]

Alright sounds good I think I will go with 5/8"

I used a 29mm motor mount. May have been slight overkill...

Haha probably but who cares it will work.

 

[nute]

Haha probably but who cares it will work.

My thoughts exactly. I'd rather lose some altitude than have an unplanned disassembly.
