Highest I ever flew a model rocket to was a Centuri rocket I owned in the 70's to 2000 feet with a C6-7 engine. I flew it for my grammar school in the eighth grade and it began to rain right after I flew it as if the smoke seeded the clouds. I often flew it at my high school, flying it until I finally lost it after owning it two years. I had a camera on my RC glider and also mounted one on a kite I owned with an eight foot wingspan, and another w/ a six foot wing span that was easier to haul in, on 1000 feet of line or 500 feet of line. I found a hack for the Canon camera that let it automatically snap a shot every second during the flight. But your rocket is the best I've seen, and only twelve feet yet with the power to go to the edge of space--gr8 video!

Wow! That camera is crystal clear and that framerate is spectacular! Awesome launch!

Fascinating addition to the original flight video - thank you. The fact that the rocket is still climbing when it's going sideways is weird! The only thing I would add (if possible!) would be for the graphic to illustrate the stage 2 separation (or, even better, on-board camera views!). It's the stage separation that really intrigues me - I can (more or less) imagine the construction of the two stages, how the parachutes could be deployed, etc, but exactly how you separate and (safely) start the second motor is beyond me. I guess that's the key to the whole flight? Would a third stage be a better answer to get even higher than 'just' a longer burning second stage? I guess there's too much of a weight penalty that way, but a three stage amateur rocket really would be something!

@kdaugi

Жыл бұрын

Glad you liked it. The stages are designed to drag separate. So once drag on the first-stage outpaces it’s delivered thrust the second-stage slides apart. It then coasts to altitude and the motor is ignited at its forward end. To go higher, I plan to design a longer burning but lower thrust upper stage motor. Same impulse. This will limit energy losses to drag for the second-stage.

Congrats! Very smooth, what a ride!
