So I'm building my first DD rocket, a Composite Warehouse Ibex 54. It's time to start getting serious about the recovery.
So far I have a Missile Works RRC2+ altimeter, and their corresponding sled, but I have newb questions I can't seem to quite find answers to. Thus, I consult the TRF brain trust.
1. When using "glove tips" as ejection charge holders, how do you close them up? Pictures anyone?
2. Same topic, how then, do the tips get mounted to the avbay bulkheads? Pictures?
3. Can you use the QuickDip pyrogen as ejection charge ignition, or are they just for motors??
4. When your airframe is only 54mm, it doesn't leave a lot of room on the bulkhead for wire connections....best to just drill holes for the wires to pass directly through, and seal with poster putty/something?
Thanks, all!!
Pics attached for where I am right now.......and a fun little pyro video I made last night trying my hand at an ejection charge test. Taped up a little Triple Seven with an Estes ignitor.......fun times! LOL
