Hi, i am new to this forum.
Im studying a BTEC National Diploma in Engineering at Milton Keynes College and im in my final year.
For my final project me and a friend have been given the task of trying to break the UK altitude record for a Class C Model rocket. I thourt it may be an idea to join a forum such as this in hope that somebody may give up some of their own time to have a read and give and suggestions or comments on how i should proceed.
So far i have drawn up all the parts that we will build on a CAD program ready to be built (have 2 styles of nose cone machined so far).
Also have some parts on order from Rocketstore.co.uk which is a 1.1" blue tube, rocket motors, and shock cord etc, unfortunatly this college seems to have a very long order process and we have very little we can do now untill the parts turn up...
We will be making our own launch pad. And are having to fix an old altimeter which we can mount into the rocket.
A few questions i have:
Are there any dates coming up in the next 8 weeks where we will be able to launch?
I have lots of CAD drawings and pictures to show, how do i post them on this forum?
thanks
Matt
