A project that a friend and I are working on.
Taking inspiration from Bare Minimum, FROG, and other high performance builds.
Specs:
Design apogee > 45,000
Peak velocity of around mach 3.6
Experimental M class motor
3" subminimum diameter
Fincan:
3/16 carbon plate
Bent steel LE protection
Es6209 fillets
Sleeve or roll wrapped tube
Nosecone:
Hand laid with 8-9 fiberglass sleeves to match casing wall thickness
Aluminum tip
Electronics:
Nosecone AV bay
Blue Raven
Easymini
Featherweight Tracker
RDF Beacon
Lyra(A custom developed flight computer for datalogging and backup telemetry)
Recovery:
Redundant vinyl tube charges
Drogue at apogee.
Tower:
Send Cut Send 1/8in aluminum rings or hand cut 3/4in plywood
1010 rails for adjustable spars as well as the primary rails
Adjustable from 29mm to 98mm
Test Flights:
Two EX L1000 clones flying to 25k and 30k respectively to test fincan construction techniques and recovery configurations.
