Some GPS have built in protection that disable GPS module above certain speed to prevent using them in rocket guided missiles ( such as the one that you've built) Maybe try UWB localization methods ?

Insane results! I wonder if a big part of the reason the GPS recorded excessively low is because its sample rate is low enough that it didn't catch the full turns and thus misjudged the distance traveled. It would be handy if you could adjust the sample rate on it

Fantastic video! I would love to work with you on part 3 of this project if that is possible somehow?! I have also wanted to try a rocket for a long time. I think you could go way beyond 400kmh even with foam. A Funjet airframe is already capable of 400kmh+, so we can easily build something better than a Funjet. Do you have access to bigger motors or is the max legal size? I know Ceasaroni do some huge motors, but don't know about the laws here in the Uk. Do you want a colab for pt3? I actually don't see why we couldn't challenge the outright record for pt4.. It would be possible go beyond transonic with a small delta and the biggest motor we could get hold of, maybe work with a licensed rocketry specialist to get access to the big boy motors!

@@castform57 you are right and wrong. Yes, from a geographical stand point it's not moving. But from the aerodynamic stand point it is moving! Pilots use airspeed to fly the plane, ground speed is used only for navigation.

Have you plugged the boosters with compressed cat litter to prevent the engine casing from ejecting from last time? The reason I am suggesting this is to make a more powerful and completed burn of all the propellent the engine has, like the A10-P.

I'm not sure how reliable the Velocity from GPS is. They use the dopper effect to get the speed which accuracy is debatable. Aircraft to this day use piot tubes for airspeed (also a thing bc if you fly into the wind gps is ground speed). And there are ones for drones aswell with i2c connections. Just a suggestion.

You can see a major issue at 1:02 - Your wings and ailerons are wobbling under excess load. I had this issue all the time when running foam models with electric motors that had 5-10x the recommended wattage, great fun btw, nothing quite like seeing a drivetrain being ripped out of a poorly reinforced foam fuselage.. Anyway, the best solution I found for wobbly wings was a carbon fiber spar. I used 0.5mm and 1mm thick flatstock that was wider than the thickness of the wing. i then cut the wing all the way through lengthwise and used contact cement (UHU POR) to glue everything back together, then dremeled off the excess carbon fiber material. You would not believe how stiff such a wing was, afterwards. For ailerons, I reinforced the root of the wing cutout in a similar fashion and then used fiberglassed balsa ailerons instead of the original foam ones. They tend to hold the torsion forces much more reliably.

@grahambaker6289

the ailerons are wobling because of the gyro correcting and over correcting itself at a very fast speed i think

I'd like to see what speed could be achieved with a swept wing design. Maybe even a Delta wing. It's that straight wing slowing things down.

To make it even faster you can do more of a wing swept design and thinner wings

air-dropping a rc-plane from a quad-copter? it is so simple, it is BRILLIANT!

So impressed and love the plane it do be being like sanic

That last flight definitely looked a lot faster. Way to hit your target!

Maybe the gps sampled at 1Hz and wasn't able to get a good fix on speed within a short curved flight. I wonder if the rapid change in altitude affected the gps accuracy. The gps receivers I've used were quite slow to update altitude changes.

Man! That second rocket powered test was amazing! You absolutely crushed the timing on it! So glad my name got to go for a 145mph ride 😅

A propeller in the nose would remove the need for a drop and still have aligned center of thrust and center of gravity. Also a wing high up on the fuselage or a strong dihedral wing angle could minimize wing strikes on landing and make the plane more stable in flight.
