I’m still an amateur at model rocketry, but I still like to watch these videos about topics above my skill level because Tim Van Milligan makes everything so interesting!
can you convert a single deployment rocket and make it a dual deployment? I built a Loc-IV and make it single. Is it difficult to make it dual deployment?
Yes. It is possible, but it takes some planning. See: www.apogeerockets.com/education/downloads/Newsletter389.pdf. A simpler way is to use a Jolly Logic Chute Release device to restrict the opening of the parachute until it falls to a lower altitude.
One question a noob like me would ask is why would you do this? I'm assuming it's because you want to run a low powered engine in it so it doesn't go so high to need dual deployment, but that's just a guess.
@@apogeerocketsYes, but still, why would you want to take a dual deployment rocket and make it single deployment? What advantages does it serve? I think I understand the advantage of dual deployment and am eager to try it myself but not sure why you would want to go back to single.
@@seanhartman6496There are people that just want to do it, because it is simpler that a dual-deployment set-up. We're just trying to let them know how to do it so they aren't confused.

Thanks. You’re videos are simple and straightforward. MY FAVORATE!!!!!
You have to add shear pins at the lower joint too, the upper part has a big mass
Thanks for all the videos
My pleasure!
Thanks , Dr. K
Thanks for the info. Great channel!

Simple enough! Thanks!

What fun is it to launch a low powered engine, when you could use a big one? That's why we do all this effort.
but if you're in a situation where it's don't fly, or fly MPR.....I'd rather MPR
