It's actually machined linen phenolic not wood. Everything in my rockets is composites and stainless, I try to avoid any materials that will degrade over time or with exposure to the elements or ejection gasses.

This is the av-bay of my rocket ExPAC. All the parts are cnc routed.

I used 6 of these to build a double sided match timer for a battle bots arena once. They are pretty great.

I am not currently shipping product but I hope to be again in the not so distant future. Take a look they at the link in my signature, I sell a camera mount with a molded carbon fiber ogive shroud. My shrouds use the Mobius Mini camera with the extension cable to point the camera out of the...

I was part of the OnShape beta. It is an online full featured cad program very similar to SolidWorks. I believe it is still free to students and educators. It is also free if your willing to make your designs public. Maybe your ok with that...

I have not yet found anything.

I am working on a design with 3 downward pointing standard cameras which will cover the entire area under the rocket. I was also hoping to stitch these together and remove the spin so any feedback would be great.

I did some testing with an Eggfinder Quantum, a Perfect Flight Stratologger, and a Missileworks RRC2+. All three altimeters update the continuity continuously, if the continuity changes from good to bad or vice versa the indicators change accordingly. Both the Quantum and the Stratologger have...

I have done this quite successfully with RCA connectors. In my more complex project that required power and signal I used a snug fitting thread together multipin plastic connector and removed the nut from one side. This worked very well, here is a link to the manufacturer page...

There is a buzzer that only sounds when there is current and a blown fuse. So assuming you check the fuse before installation the current that blows the fuse will sound the buzzer. Also with the fuse blown I don't believe the buzzer is a low enough resistance to show continuity on the channel, I...

I understand your first point, but this product isn't meant to be used as a power switch it is specifically meant to improve the safety of second stage motors and prevent injury due to failed hardware, faulty wiring, or other accidental means. It has internal circuitry for this purpose it is...

At first no, but eventually this could be expanded to multiple channels pretty easily. It would probably get bigger though. The fuse is meant to blow when while the switch if safed. At that point the charge is disconnected and the altimeter is shorted that way if a faulty altimeter is sending...

Ask and ye shall receive (the thickness will vary a little by diameter this is for a 2" airframe): You are correct, though I think with proper sizing this will not be an issue for most systems as long as the battery can supply enough current the fuse will blow quickly. I probably wouldn't...

Where are you getting your head end ignition hardware? My other new development is a reusable head end ignition closure with built in electrostatic discharge protection circuitry. I'm planning on posting about it soon, but if you want to flight test it as well we should talk. Send me a message...

The switch shorts the altimeter side in the safe mode so the altimeter would see this as being connected. The point of the fuse is to prevent those scenarios when someone powers their electronics and due to a failed component or miswiring a motor lights or an ejection charge blows on the pad...

I’ve been meaning to post an update for quite a while but it seems one thing after another has been getting in the way. First, for those are who are wondering my dad is still doing alright, he had a recurrence but after another surgery and more chemo his tumor is stable again. Thank you to...

I am working on a new safety switch designed specifically for rocketry. Anywhere that your electronics will ignite a motor, and also in some ejection setups this switch is designed to improve safety and prevent accidental firing from mistakes or component failures. The switch will be a highly...

This seems to have a maximum acceleration of +/-16Gs which seems like it would be too low for most rocket applications.

Take a look at the documents for my kit here: https://www.liquidfyre-rocketry.com/docs/Liquidfyre%20Rocketry%20Mobius%20Mini%20Camera%20Shroud.pdf

That is precisely the problem I have successfully fixed, my servos see none of those loads. In fact my servos have survived every flight even one where the opening shock tore the main kevlar...
