Hi.
I am getting through my HyperLOC 835 build and I have some questions.
I used 18g wire in my ebay. It seems a bit stiff. A little bigger than I had imagined it. The Marsa4 altimeter doesnt seem to have a problem with it, just me I guess. The wire is flexible but not like Noodle wire.
I am running dual deploy and I am trying to figure out how to handle separation.
Ebay is the break point for the drogue - friction fit it? or other? Not sure what to do since it is cardboard.
For the main, I was going to have it break at the nose cone to push everything out. How do I fasten the body tube to the ebay? Nylon screws? Metal? Size?
I guess I can go back and see if the instructions say anything but I sort of abandoned them early. Not much of an instruction booklet. More like an essay on building.
And should I put a bulkhead in the nose cone instead of fastening to the plastic attachment point?
Fin fillet size? I did a 3/8 inch radius but it looks too small. Suggestions?
Gonna try and complete this for October Skies in 2 weeks.
Thanks.
Rob
