Fred Pics????
Ok, Here we go.. /QUOTE]
The first image showes the altimiter installed and the remaining two images show the framed rocket under primer and it's base coat of red paint. Still on hold for my stickershock decal from Rocketry-Warehouse.:sigh:
PS: JB-Weld was used as the primary construction adhesive, with fast cyclonate used to tac glue fins, motor mount, and centering rings. West Systems epoxy and carbon fiber pulp was used on the nosecone assembly.
Looks awesome Fred, Whats it going up on at RG?
These look awesome, I am new to HPR (Level 1 last month) and still not getting the grasp of the dual deploy on this kit. I understand how you did the nose cone, but how is the drogue and the main setup in 2 different compartments? I know I am missing something.
Thanks,
Rob
Awesome build, I am building a LOC 7.5 in V2 and decided to put the Parachute in the nose come. I wasnt sure how to mount the Altimeter until this post. I have one question for you where did you place the drogue chute in relation to the nose cone? If attached directly to the nose cone I would think there is a possibility to cause the Main to get fired directly into the drogue chute causing a tangle. I think it should be close enough to the nose cone to make sure the parts separate but not too far. I was thinking about a 20ft shock cord with the drogue about 4ft from the nose cone to allow the main and pilot shoot to be able to deploy without tangling. I will be using a deployment bag for the main.
Exactly how I set it up, My drogue is approx 3-4' from the NC, I used a 28" drogue for its 1st flight but that can probably be dropped to a 24".
You basically want to use a drogue just big enough so on its descent you get the proper orientation, That being the NC above the aft section.
Hey Gary, Nice build (as usual). What size main chute did you go with?
Gman. What's the total Ns on that motor?
Here is the GIZMO XL on the CTI L1350CS Demo at Reg Glare XI, Rocket is 23lbs (No Motor) Pad weight was 32lbs, Altitude 6135' Very Nice! Motor.
Hello Gary T and all
