Don't get started on the nose cone again, haha! Advice and techniques are a one-way street with Andrew.
Forum shriekers... They’ll just have to see the nosecone in person at a launch site to figure it out.
Why would you not share your rocket design ideas with this community? Because some professor told you you should patent the idea?
Then You have people on a forum complain lasers leave a rough finish.
The 3.5% of the 65a is impossible.
Wait a second...
I'm getting my airfoils mixed up. The 65a isn't even a symmetrical airfoil. Why would you put that on a rocket?
Well one thing is for certain, longest TRF thread ever.
When you claim airfoil prescison is critical, surface finish is going to be important. Lasers can provide a good finish assuming they’re cutting. If you’re using them in an additive manufacturing capacity, you’re limited in resolution to beam width. Without finishing, that’s going to be a very rough surface, there’s no way around that.

I’m not sure how many mechanical engineering programs require courses in machining, but I think it’d be a huge help.
Im definitely not an industry expert. Very far from it.I had a course called manufacturing processes we got to run a manual lathe, CNC mill with G code, press brake, MiG welder, and visit local factories. It was a help, but compared to you or other industry experts my knowledge is lacking in other technologies and techniques. Laser sintering was a big deal when we found as a college about firms that could do it as it allows geometries this small scale where a CNC mill on campus won’t. You however have EDM which is superior in surface finish.
You're the expert at everything, tell us what's wrong.The 4MHz offset fox hunt attenuator should get here next week. Telemini V3 seems to last for 5-6 hours at pad mode. It has 3750, 4000, or 4250 frequency rate options. At 3750 setting it beeps every ten seconds while at 4250 setting it beeps at every five seconds just playing with it. The signal meter on the Yaseu VX-6R is just pegged full right in neighborhoods making it useless up close. I even tried onboard Yaseu attenuation to no avail. I wasn’t hearing any volume changes or seeing signal strength changes today. It seems to transmit through interior housing walls just fine. Despite having a HAM ticket I’m completely new at RDF for rocketry. It would help if the beacon was nearly constant, but it seems to pulse in pad mode. Don’t know if that’s normal or not.
At least he edited the part about the manual being a “POS”.Keith and Bdale left out the section on social cognition? Pity.
