Gimbaled rocket motor assembly!
Who would have thunk it? Lol. The question truly is... Can I do it.
I just saw this video on Youtube of a R&D project on electronic rocket stabilization.
Pretty cool stuff. I think I'll use the gimbal rocket motor contraption if I ever decide to build a multi-staged Saturn V model rocket. That way I could fly the upper stage with no fins. My idea before I saw this video was to have fins on the upper stage that would move into place at the moment of staging. I think the gimbal motor mount would probably weigh less in the long run. I dunno. I'll have to study it up a little more.
Cool video though. Definitely food for thought.
