Eggtimer Wi-Fi Switch for Ejection Charge Testing
มุมมอง 5543 ปีที่แล้ว
Using Eggtimer Wi-Fi switches to test ejection charges makes life soooo much easier, no duct tape around a vacuum nozzle, no wires up the wazoo, just install the switch and wire up the charge. For those that are using a switch to turn on the electronics, its already in the avbay. For this rocket we have 2 sets of sleds one for the flight using StratoLoggers and one just for testing with the swi...
Winding a Main Harness for Flight
มุมมอง 3643 ปีที่แล้ว
Walks us through using the Harness Winder to coil a harness for flight. The harness is 40' of 3/8” tubular Kevlar cord. The winder demonstrated is for winding a coil that will fit in a 4" or larger airframe. ReliableRocket/shop

WifiSwitchSled
มุมมอง 723 ปีที่แล้ว
Wi-Fi Switch Sleds for the PnP DDS to ground test ejection charges. These sleds replace those with altimeters, but just for the ground test. This should make ground testing a joy.
Stitching a Kevlar Harness
มุมมอง 1.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Almost everything you wanted to know about stitching a Kevlar harness. We will be stitching 3/8” tubular Kevlar with a Speedy Stitcher using 100lb black Kevlar thread. At the end will take a look a “Y-bar” harness to get an idea of what is possible.
Fabricating a G12 Avbay Nosecone
มุมมอง 2983 ปีที่แล้ว
Construction of a nosecone and avbay using G12 (wound fiberglass). Covers in detail: cutting of G12 tubing; cutting and routing of G10 fiberglass plate (garolite) for centering ring; sanding and bonding with epoxy; installation of hardpoint (eyebolt); installation of AeroPack retainer; and installation of weld nuts for shear pins. WARNING: Very long, BUT if you want to see every detail of fabri...
Fabricating a Profiled Composite Fin
มุมมอง 2954 ปีที่แล้ว
Shaping and lamination of a profiled (modified Nike Smoke X-section) composite fin using G10, carbon fiber weave, aerospace grade foam (Last-A-Foam), and fiberglass cloth, designed to go beyond Mach 1. Lamination is easily performed using a FoodSaver and bags, yes you heard right. With consumer (and commercial grade) vacuum appliances available as wide a 15” large fins can be accommodated. And ...

Very Cool Allen!
I have used one of these coil winding tools from Reliable Rocket and they work great!

thanks for a great video ! it helped me put my 75mm 3 grain load together .
Your home address is visible, not sure if you know that.
Sure, its business address just like Chris's
where are you buying your tubular Kevlar from?
By most of mine from Chris's Rocket Supplies. th-cam.com/video/UIOFWHVInKo/w-d-xo.html
Your demo shows coils that fit into a 4" rocket. Couldn't you use the harness winder to make coils that fit into smaller rockets by not winding the coils all the way? It seems that if you made marks on the winder for 3", 2.6", etc rockets, you could wind smaller coils. Am I correct in my thinking, or this will only work on rockets that are 4+"? Tnx.
Certainly, Here are some photos: facebook.com/ReliableRocket/posts/pfbid02RxNxg8LhitgC9TUEtyEJaAVd9uRekMSfRj8oVfLZygzRT8Nf8DXo4R5cWW6TYLHel
Excellent! I am building a MadCow Terminator-5 fiberglass rocket and will first fly it on a 5 grain Pro54 motor, but have a 4 grain Pro75 casing and will then use that with 2 spacers to launch with a 2-grain (later 3 grain) Pro75 motor. Question: Is the eyebolt on the end of the motor required? What is the use of that (to make it easier to remove the part after flight? Thanks for any comments. SCS 7 Oct 2022
Stephen, Glad you like the video. The only purpose of the eye bolt is to attach the harness. I thought I talked (in the full length video) a little about the eyebolt dilemma in a 4 grain case (using 2 spacers) in the video, but I could have edited it out. Ultimately I purchased a 2 grain case to avoid having to use 2 spacer for the K1085.
Do you have a link to the router bit you are using? Or one you would recommend for g10?
Thanks for watching! Absolutely, I use a 1/4 (sometimes 1/8) router bit for Fiberglass Plain End McMaster Part# 8785A14. Unfortunately, it looks like they maybe discounting the specific bit. For safety it is VERY IMPORTANT any bit used have a diamond-pattern flute.
Hi Allen, I cover 1 side of each with painters tape. (part & template) then apply a few drops of CA strategically placed around to secure the part to the template. (like using 2 sided tape) Very secure, easier clean up & separation with a putty knife or an Xacto blade.
Thanks for watching! Certainly do whatever works the best for you but there are at least 3 issues I encountered with what you describe 1) it's a 3 step process to attach and 2 steps to detach the template. 2) the tape creates buildup on the bit. 3) it does not work for really small parts which was the origin of the method demonstrated here.
... more info: 3M Supper 77 can be readily found at home improvement stores; 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner at auto parts stores, the aerosol is a little tougher to find.
Really cool design!
Thanks, so far the function has met every expectation.
I just launched a certification flight with a kit converted for dual deploy. Because of space constraints, I could NOT have had a successful flight without using your winder. I was even told by a kevlar supplier that I couldn’t use that size kevlar in the air frame I was using. I just laughed because he didn’t know the tool I had. Thank you for a successful flight.
Hi Todd, Would you be kind enough to PM me the supplier?
Ground testing only.
This is juts for ground testing.. You're not trying to control things in the air.. right? :)
Hate that watched for 30 mins to find out 5 sec of info I needed.
Where can i order a set?
Thank you Allen! Ingenious space saving method!
Don't hurt yourself 🖖
Good example of how well the adhesive does with PETG
My school is marvin Wright
where was launch?
