- www.ApogeeRock... - This is the final video in the construction of the Dual-Deployment rocket. This time, the rocket is fully painted, and now you'll see Erin install the parachutes in preparation for flight. At the end of the video, you'll get to witness the first launch of this rocket!
A couple of notes: The actual painting of the rocket is similar to painting the primer, which was shown in Part 8. Therefore, we are skipping over that part in this sequence. Also, the installation of the electronics and the ejection charge holders is shown in our DVD on how to mount electronics (see: www.apogeerock....
Could you make a video that goes more into depth on how to properly pack the parachute before launch?
Awesome rocket. Would love to see a video on how you made the curves in the paint job so uniform. Looks great.
Well keep that in mind for the upcoming videos. Thanks for the idea!
Great series, makes me look forward to building my first High Power Rocket.
That was a delightful rocket building experience. thank you!
Did I miss the mounting and outfitting of the alt-bay? That would have been very interesting. And the finishing! :) I know it takes time. But it would have been grand to see those details. Nonetheless well done... but I must admit more details on those two aspects would be welcome! Great series! Well done.
Good stuff. Keep the information coming. Much Thanks.
Nice flight apart from the ignitor no-no and add a suggestion that the Double Figure of eight knot would be preferable to a slip knot as it is used in Rock climbing as a method of attaching yourself to the safety rope. Otherwise a brill series,well done Erin
Great build videos
It depends which altimeter you get. Some altimeters can store data for multiple flights. See our web site for more details.
Okay, first excellent series on this build. But, why did Tim do the launch instead of Erin? Wasn't this for her Level 1 Cert? I know it's 11 years later but, I'm confused.
Great video series... although I didn't see where you discussed the shear pins, and the need for rivets weren't mentioned on the product listing page, just shear pins.
Did they go from session 9-10 without showing how to painting
Only primer
I just looked at their site,& they're sold out of this particular one. It's $133.45,but you're getting what looks like a 4 foot rocket. I kinda like it. A lot bigger than the smaller ones I used to design as a teen. Only problem is,I'd have to find a huge clear area to launch it. I wonder if you have to download the info from the data loger to a laptop every time?
Is the longer shock attached to the engine mount eye bolt and eBay?
The longer shock cord goes in the bottom near the engine mount.
heatshrink works better than tape on the shock cords but tape does a good job also
Very nice video, however, having the igniter installed in the motor before the rocket is on the pad and vertical is a no-no.
wow that flew real nice good job building it, you should see my 4 inch wide 58 inch tall high powered crayon, its two banks put together to make one big rocket weight is right at 3 pounds tol, thats useing 1/4 inch oak ply wood for fins and centering rings, berch is better ply wood,
Hi im new to hpr would this be a good first? Also everything listed on the apogee website is that akl that is needed in addition to the kit? And what would be the best motor just for some general fun and not humongous amount if launch field and lastly if possible would you be able to find me the best company that would ship the motor to the uk as i dont think you ship out of the U.S.
Thanks
This is what motor? :D Thanks!
I've been told that in order to successfully utilize dual deployment that it is necessary to use shear pins. is that not the case with this rocket?
Not necessary. The purpose of shear pins is to prevent pre-mature separation of parts. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. For more details, visit the Apogee web site.
where can you buy these kits and if so where
Why is model Rocketry so fun?
Now how r u going to find it?!?!?!?
22nd comment :) (my lucky number)
