My wife just recently finished building a Loc-"Warlock" and she will be attempting an L1 cert. flight on Dec.27th. She not only constructed this rocket for L1, but L2 also. Not only did she modify it from 38mm to 54mm, she also fiberglassed it, and then built in her avioncs bay. All good ideas, however with these modifications came additional weight. The total approximate weight fully packed and loaded will be 14-16 Lbs. She will be launching it on an Aerotech I366T. Could someone be so kind to do either a Rocsim or Spacecad fight simulation at the 3 specified weights of 14,15,16 lbs. Nothing else has changed on the rockets outside dimensions except the fin thickness which was increased to 1/4"(was 3/16") Birch plywood. CP & CG were maintained per instructions.( Actually we got an average between Rocsim CP & CG and Loc's CP,CG). She is really concerned about her delay time and when the rocket will apogee. We will be using Aerotech RDK+ delays and were thinking probably a medium delay(RDK-11)I think thats 6-7 second delay. But then I think anyone with a Rocsim could tell me better, or if I'm even in the ballpark for that matter.
I must admit, I am quite proud of her fabrication skills and that she went that extra mile making this an L2 rocket at the same time. So much I thought I would do this post for her. Hopefully we can get an idea on how high it will fly and how many seconds to apogee through flight simulation. Can ya'll help her out?
Thank you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>>====> Fly High..........
