Thanks Cris, in the end I followed the consensus here. Wanted to avoid any permanent wiring to the payload so I used a long ematch/microcentrifuge tube and hot glue to make the connection from nosecone to booster section. Wifi arming of Quantum helped to keep this simple without a switch...

Thanks Art and Titan. Agree this is easiest approach, I am JLCR curious, and love the idea of a single separation point for DD, but need to dial in my other electronics first.

My current planned configuration is that the motor eject pressurizes the booster section and nosecone avbay pressurizes the payload. I could make a connection from the NC through payload to the booster but this just seems like an odd configuration (but now that i think of it not as odd as having...

...I'm keeping it single deploy

Instead of buying new kits to fly as had been my practice around the holiday sales, this year I decided to refurbish and find new ways to enjoy the models that had been gathering dust in my garage. Enter this Big Nuke which was one of my first ever large kits and has 25+ motor eject flights over...

I can see it and I'll take your advice on the baffle. Only have a couple bucks in the cardboard/balsa booster but would like to make it re usable if possible.

I’m a Closer not a Swiper but could use the practice updating firmware. “Swiper no Swiping!” (inside joke for those with young kids/Dora fans)

Quasar was payload in my single deploy motor eject with christmas light in "drogue" setting test. Thoughts after my first GPS flight: loved arming over the Wifi connection. this is a great feature and worth the battery drain IMO. satellites fix was not a problem. Locked on to 9+ in a minute or...

If OddRocs are outlawed only Outlaws will have OddRocs.

Recommend SteelyEyed and Shrox for cool rocket designs.

Printed. It is a nice design that allows for slightly different fin thickness and body tube diameters.

As everyone has already guessed from the goal and design, I am using DMS super long burning motor and drag separation in order to get the desired altitude. The challenge is going to be programming the Quasar to fire sustainer only under the right conditions to avoid super long recovery. I am...

Thanks Handeman, would have used a hot knife if I had one in stock. The perimeter stitch should take care of fraying concerns and added a nice cup shape. Ive lost some chutes but never to cow slobber! Next post will be super heavy on electronics and software.

Realizing I could be credibly accused of project managing this 2 stager instead of building it, impulse bought some ripstop nylon while shopping with my daughter at Jo Anns and decided to take a shot at recovery for first time. Thanks to Black Aero, (receiver case) Raythain, (Quasars assembly)...

Looks tidy. What kind of Lipo are you using?

It's a Black Aero Pro Case available for sale on their website. It is well worth it for all the hardware/switches/connectors.

Thanks I entered my email on your signup page

I’ll buy one if it can fit in 24mm coupler. What are the battery requirements?

Guess I will always know approximately what time I did the first prelim mockup of my LDRS near MD 2 stage project.

Installed Rocket Locator App and performed first test of the Bluetooth connection. Pleased that satellites fix seems to happen in less than a minute for both receiver and Quasar.
