It'll be a couple of days before I can get back to it. Maybe I'll hear something from LOC. I may also try correcting the Rocksim file to reflect what I have (not one of my strong points). Or just build it as is, stuck an H238 in it an see if it flies
I agree, but at this point that's a bit behind my capabilities.Better practice would be to make your own sim file. Vendor sims are......loosely based on reality
I would guess your message to LOC never got to them. They have some of best customer service in the hobby.Well, I never got a reply from LOC, so being the impatient type I proceeded with the build. MMT assembled. Shock cord upgrade to300# Kevlar "Y" harness attached to motor mount with Rocketpoxy. 10/10 rail buttons. Slight airfoil on the fins. I'm going to put in some PML foam to finish the fin can. Epoxy in the rear ring then JB weld the Aeropack retainer. I have the 29/24 adaptor for flexibility in motor selection.View attachment 386954
No doubt. I was pleased with the kit. It's my first from LOC. If it flies I'll probably buy another one.I would guess your message to LOC never got to them. They have some of best customer service in the hobby.
Update (if anybody's watching).
Not sure. They were a lot smaller than what was specified in the Rocksim file. When I adjusted the size in the file to match what I had it moved the CP to 19.6". It weighed 364 g with the 24mm E20-7 motor installed. It was pretty overstable with the added nose weight, probably got carried away there.Did you ever hear back from LOC? Do you think you got the wrong size fins?
Thank you for the offer. Was the corrupted file actually used to cut the fins?Hey! I haven't seen anything on the question line, but there were a few EZE that got out with a corrupted fin file! e-mail me directly and we'll get a new booster set-up out. [email protected]
I doubt the foam was a problem. It was a just a small volume, and it is mostly air, anyway. Adding the motor retainer was a bigger contributor to the ass weight.Well bottom line is the fins in my kit were cut incorrectly. So they seemed small because they were. I contributed to the unstable first flight by putting the foam in the motor mount.
Oh well, a few months out in the rain will probably render any stability issues moot.
Would still like to find my chute release and 29/24 adaptor. Might even be able to salvage the Aeropack retainer.
