@tg08 Handeman is spot on. You might also think about using a Jolly Logic Chute Release...it can get you "dual deployment" performance and allow you to fly within the field, without the complexity and cost of traditional DD.Where we fly in Virginia, most people fly DD over about 3,000 ft. Apogee eject is usually fine below 2,400 ft., but on a breezy days, even that can cause a lost rocket.
Tripoli San Diego, which is an airport surrounded by desert. There are all kinds of rockets from low to high power. I'm aiming for a slow descent rate to maximize chances of successful certification.What kind of field will you be flying it on? What size rockets are usually flown there?
I'm using a tracker just as a precaution and a test (first time soldering an eggfinder together)Will you need a tracker?
I agree. As I’ve stated in other threads, I’m not trying to go super high. In fact, I’d rather have it somewhat low where everything is in sight, and I can just pop the chute out without any electronics. Just another flight in the books, nothing special.I don't think it's too heavy.
As long as you use an appropriate motor.I agree. As I’ve stated in other threads, I’m not trying to go super high. In fact, I’d rather have it somewhat low where everything is in sight, and I can just pop the chute out without any electronics. Just another flight in the books, nothing special.
Well I did say kinda, not too.I don't think it's too heavy.
I love the paint job!As promised.
