Is there anything in this wild wonderful world that you can think of that is better than filling spirals?I did some not very exciting spiral filling (not as cool as open rocket), but it was rocket work, finally.
It was moved toWhat became of the "what I did rocket-wise today?" I looked back a few pages and didn't see it.
well you got pretty good with the open rocket program. I just wish you lived next door to me.I got the "Blade" antenna installed today. Believe it or not I downloaded a photo of a flat toothpick
then outlined the shape in black and filled the inside of the shape solid black. Then while I was editing the
image with Gimp I rotated the image to match the angle of the real "Blade" antenna then imported the resulting
image into the fin part of OpenRocket and used the image to give the shape of the fin aka the Blade Antenna .
That way it will allow me to attach the antenna to the outside of the models airframe .
Here is how the results look
Here is how the angle of attack sensor looks on the real Black Brant

i will wait around for the group to bash you on the idea of having something like that which could come down and go through somebody's head. (as they usually do)And with the angle of attack sensor I may use a metal part that screws into the tip of the nosecone
I'm building an old Estes kit right now, I will not be putting the antennae on it.I to am worried about breakage and the parachute getting tangled in the antenna.
