my dude: MOTORBIKE GPS tracker with sim card! cost like 10$ and have a tiny battery inside with will be automatically charged every time you connect the main lipo. go get one of those. there are some grams and i installed them on all my 4" to 5" drones because its so tiny. almost same as your bluetooth tracker. even main battery disconnects on impact. the tiny lipo will continue send exact GPS location to your phone via app in real time for some hours. and thats like 1 meter accuracy.
Well done, but let me give you a pro advice. Connect the delay to a 2 pound charge of black powder, and do away completely with the parachute. That way you won't have to worry about finding the rocket. You're welcome 😎
This is so awesome!! A few years ago I designed my own rocket engines and to test them, I made a 5ft tall rocket out of a pool noodle. It worked surprisingly well and I was honestly quite proud of it until I saw this video... Now I want to build a carbon fiber rocket worthy of my homemade engines!!
A few years ago at a rocket launch one guy had a V2 replica. It was about five feet long. It looked like he had put a lot of work to it. It flew beautifully but in the end it did exactly what the V2 was designed to do and nose dived into the ground. Total loss. Turns out the ejection charge did go off but was waaaay under powered for the large internal space of the rocket.
In terms of a "tracker", I'd suggest looking at something like a Vifly Buzzer 2. These things are tiny, battery powered "lasts days" and very, very loud. Mostly used in fpv quads so I'm sure it'd help with rockets like this!
@@andresmartinezramos7513 the only thing this guy would have to do is buy like an ATTINY and a gps module with a SIM card module or even a zigbee TXRX module. The zigbee ones have like a max range of a kilometre I think? Not sure off the top of my head Edit: max range of XBEE modules is 3.2km
Love how these young blokes are messing around with cool stuff like this and inspiring an entire generation around the world to do the same :). That was some really cool footage!
I dont exactly know why but you are one of my favourite Chanel’s to watch. I love the fact that you keep things brief yet super informative, you dont drag on about the same thing for 20 mins to make a video longer your content is always just so clean and classy
Cool build bud! It looks to me like you never sanded and cleaned the bonding areas for the fins, or did you? If not, try next time to sand both bonding areas (fins and tube) with 80 grit and clean with acetone really really well. Otherwise will the epoxy never bond to the carbon properly. /former Composite tech @ Rocketlab
@Projectair Awesome work mate and love the passion you display on the videos. Whilst watching the video, it appears that once the vehicle lost its top guide in relation to the launch rail it immediately veered. Maybe next time you launch that particular vehicle, use an additional length of rail (2M to 3M) just to provide an additional split second of guidance to gain trajectory control. Have you also done any further research into a synchronised multiple engine launch? The vehicle core appears to be large enough to take a triple engine. 🤔
Great video ! Glad to see your rockets flying ! You might consider sanding the area you're going to glue, with 200grit sandpaper. Furthermore, a real fillet at the base of the fins would have certainly increase their strength. Finally, a more powerful motor should be used for such a big rocket, indeed, it needs speed to be stable, and that was almost not the case. We have an international rocketry discord if you are interested, with thousands of hobbyists willing to help.
They didn't launch them from the UK as other countries would have seen the rockets landing in the ocean. All Americans rockets land around the Bermuda Triangle, they're not going to space, never have been to space and never will go anywhere that doesn't exist... Lies are poison for the mind that warps reality 👍🏼✌
@@DaVeHiLl200 What about the Russian space program they land their crew over the land. Anyway seems like you have an interesting theory there. but, I personally don't think it's true. But to each their own.
Hey James, a quick thought about the tracker. Yes, they are big but that doesn't need to be the case. Off the top of my head, you could check the things network in your area and see how well it's covered. If it is, pick up an ESP32 with lorawan on board and a 6M GPS module and have it transmit data at certain interval to the things network. If you pick up one of the more standard ESP's, you're looking at around 15 grams. There's an ESP32 with a camera and micro SD card which will be an additional 5 grams. I can give a hand if you need(albeit virtually).
Awesome video, consider the Vodafone curve. Its a GPS tracker, with Bluetooth, and beeping activation. We have 2 which I used on a few kittens when letting them out and also travelling for my backpack if it was to dissappear.
good video! quick question: It seems many rocket youtubers loose track after launch, so why not install a pulsing or strobe light that starts either after the parachute is deployed or when no movement is detected (landed)?
Doesn’t work. During day, a strobe that is not too heavy will barely be visible when directly looking at it. With grass, walls and an even higher distance, no chance.
"Hey guys, today im building a nuclear missile!, as you can see i forgot to put the SD card inside the Antimatter cannon and i told you il redo it with a nuke so here it is!"
TH-cam algorithm blessed me this video! Its been hours of trying to find videos i want to watch and this came out! But didn't enjoy much on the big rocket as it didn't go high as i expected, but the orange rocket is good!
After I lost about $500 worth of rockets and camera in one day, I went and got my radio license and started including radio tracking equipment on my rockets.
Yeah, well, the FBI has no jurisdiction in fvcking England so he doesn't have to worry does he? No he doesn't. Do you not even know who MI6 is ? Maybe he is on an MI6 list, but the FBI can do fvck-all to him in England. What a fart-knocker.
Been a while since I've watched rocket videos. That little orange rocket has a TON of power lol It was really cool not just seeing this sleek, jet-black and far larger rocket take to the air and narrowly pull off a decent landing, but also the steps that went into designing it. Safe to say I've learned something, and Onshape looks pretty cool. I may consider using it at some point to help with my own projects. Cheers. :) 👍🥂🚀

Hey for GPS tracking, try placing an ardupilot flight controller in it with a GPS module. The module is like 2x2cm and the flight controller can be 30x30 or even 20x20mm, allowing real time gps tracking as far as you have radio signal to a controller
Just be like Santa Claus, m'lad, make a list and check it twice - to back up that brilliant memory. Let's not forget the SD card, ever again. I love your projects and videos.
I love the videos! I have been getting into rocketry myself amd I was curious on how you built the launch controller and what the electronics are inside.
i havn't used it myself since i usually fly in visual range but alot of long range drones have a gps module you can attach to the flight controller and these are quite small , maybe this may help with the keeping track of the rocket ?
in 5:44 you destroid all the propierties of the carbon fiber tube. If you drill the tube you are cuting all fiber so will don t have the same propertys of the material (sory for my english)
@ProjectAir Have you looked into a LoRa GPS tracker? They are still lightweight (50g), and have much grater range than Bluetooth "trackers". For example "Dragino LoRaWAN GPS Tracker" seems to fit the bill. You can +1 so he sees my message and doesn't have to look for lost rockets for hours 😅
that field of dandelions reminds me of a free-flight plane i built years ago. it was yellow and after the first flight it landed in a field just like that, and i didn't find it for ages.
Some advice from a rocketeer: Eggtimer Rocketry provides great flight computers and reasonably inexpensive (and very, very tiny!) GPS tracking units for rockets. You can also use their flight computers to fire ejection charges at apogee, which would probably have spared you the nail-biting deployment you guys got. And if you get the chance, you need to come out to Friends of Amateur Rocketry in California. It's just about the best place in the world for big rockets.

always put fins thru outer frame, try to get the chute to eject at apogee, run a small dia. tube thru the length of the rocket to improve chute ejection ( no need in trying to pressurize all of that volume) on larger dia rockets. try to use a general rule of thumb of 10X the weight of rocket in thrust... e.g. a 5 lb rocket likes 50 lbs of thrust... I put a 3" dia X 88" length rocket 13,280 feet on a K-500 first stage followed by a J125 second stage about 30 yrs ago... ( my Tripoli member number is in the 500 range ;) )
Who wants to see a jet-powered car in the next video? Like this if you do!

@@alilspark Not even close but it did go out of sight.
this is the reason you run a small dia tube the length of the rocket for ejection charge, it acts like a blow gun...
Yup, I've got a few V2s and no matter what I do, first flight is always a nose dive lol. No total loss yet though.
@@ej-1608 its because the fins on the v2 purposely made the rocket pick up speed in 1 direction, think of throwing a dart with fins
I would love to see a UAV missile project like the Switchblade 300.

My favourite was the 2-stage rocket.
Some advice from a rocketeer: Eggtimer Rocketry provides great flight computers and reasonably inexpensive (and very, very tiny!) GPS tracking units for rockets. You can also use their flight computers to fire ejection charges at apogee, which would probably have spared you the nail-biting deployment you guys got.
And if you get the chance, you need to come out to Friends of Amateur Rocketry in California. It's just about the best place in the world for big rockets.
Where did you get the carbon tube for the airframe?
I’d recommend you try using open rocket to get a demo of the flight and ideally what time delay to use.
Don’t think you sanded the surface for fin attachment. Through the wall would be better and attaching to the motor mount.
Good stuff so far.
Hugs the baby orange rocket 😊
Not gonna lie, that perk for the Patreons was pretty damn cool.
Nice Video! love engineering.
Can you build an RC glider that can be launched with a big rocket? Glider as payload on the nose of the rocket or piggyback?
always put fins thru outer frame, try to get the chute to eject at apogee, run a small dia. tube thru the length of the rocket to improve chute ejection ( no need in trying to pressurize all of that volume) on larger dia rockets. try to use a general rule of thumb of 10X the weight of rocket in thrust... e.g. a 5 lb rocket likes 50 lbs of thrust...
