Will this work with Derek's GPS tacker?

What software did you use to collect the flight data and graph it onto the map?

I have built one and it was very similar to the full sized version and wasn't that much more difficult. Just like the original it works perfectly. The key to all of this is patience and flux. There are a very few parts that are different but 90% of them are the same.

That means it's working perfectly as designed. Put a jumper in each place, drogue and or main and the beep sequence will change according to the configuration you are in. Give it a try. Good to know and hear what you are listening for at home vs on the feild for the first time.

The drogue keeps the nose cone and payload section higher than the main airframe. That helps in keeping the main chute from getting tangled when it deploys. The speed is not as much of a factor as it the position of the parts during decent. Some people go drogue less but you loose control of...

Count me in! These are great! I have many, but could always use one more.

Sharon, I am enjoying the build. Nice clear pictures and good descriptions. This will be a good resource for someone else in the future. I love Rocketpoxy and I rarely get even a bubble in my fillets. When you mix it install try not to mix in too much air. I use a bamboo skewer to mix it and...

Derek, I'll take one once you iron out the bugs! Anthony

I wasn't even thinking of those issues. Good point. I was concerned about the threaded rod and the aluminum end caps and that blocking / decreasing the transmission range of the GPS, since the antenna and threaded rods are parallel. The antenna has a joint at the mounting and I may be able to...

I am finishing up a minimum diameter project and starting to layout the electronics bay and I wasn't sure if the placement of the tracker in the bay with the threaded rod and aluminum bits would mess with the tracker. I can't put it into the nose very easily as that's where the some of the chute...

Sent you PM with an offer.

Thanks for the fun day today flying! Just in case anyone was interested. Here is the Thresher in before and after. Anthony

I have all the parts and pieces for the current version, will I be able to use those with the new smaller board or will there be a different parts list?

John, You do a very nice job with these videos. They are educational and easy to follow and are a great resource for rocketeers. I wish they were available when I first started out in rocketry. The forum has benefited greatly by your participation. Thanks again, Anthony

That is my Mach-N-Byrd in the last 3 shots. It is a minimum diameter on a G-83 Blue Streak on it's way to 1850 feet at 238 MPH. It is tumble recover with a main at 500 feet.

It was a great flight on a beautiful day with a nice landing! Welcome to high power. Lots of good flying on Saturday. Good luck with further flights.

You flying this at GRITS? Can't wait to see it.

Nat, I have found that Norva Plastics in Norfolk, VA is a good inexpensive source for all things G-10. Anthony

Also coming up from FL, wondering what time the launch times are? From when to when each day?

I also have issues with Open Rocket not functioning properly and have sent in numerous reports but still no fix. I guess just be patient. What do you want for free. It is a volunteer effort. Anthony
