@@ArjunK-yz4vx hey!!! Glad the algorithm is working. Did you guys have any new insights on why it popped? I forgot to ask if you had looked at port to throat area or mass flux to see if it was possibly erosive.
i see you have your main chute attached to the nose cone. so many do this differently. i am so confused. working on my first rocket. just a single stage
@@daytonpyro There’s a few different ways I’ve seen the main attached, each with its own pros and cons. The majority of folks have the harness go from the rocket to nose cone and connect the chute about 1/3 the way down the shock cord between them. So the nose cone hangs below the chute but doesn’t hit the rocket on descent. I’ve had the nose cone swing up through my shroud lines and foul the chute this way though. So now I swapped the chute and nose cone. This way it can’t swing around because the harness is pulled tight. Some people attach the chute right to the base of the nose cone. This is pretty common on smaller rockets. I think there’s still a risk of the nose cone flipping through shrouds, but most smaller rockets are fine if the main chute is a little tangled anyways. It’s harder to wrap that configuration with nomex too. Again in a smaller rocket I may just be using dog barf to protect the chute so no big deal.
I'm wanting to make my own fuel like I see you do can you help me out or point me in the right direction sugar fuel isn't quite doing it for me thank you
Glad everyone is having fun in the snow!
Lol, how coincidental...this video popped up on my recommended. I got to see another angle of my CATO. Nice meeting you this weekend and nice flight!
