Thanks for covering this topic so well. So...take aways. If in doubt, postpone flight. Use altimeter backups? Redundant ejection charges? For both? I saw another video where the builder used epoxy on inside of tube, more for buildup to meet nose cone couplers diameter, but for a zipper prevention. He had a good flight tho and couldn't tell if had really helped.
@pathtouch125 күн бұрын
So here I had redundant altimeters with separate batteries and separate charges. I make the backup charge 20% bigger than the primary. This way if the primary gets hung up, it has more pressure to separate things. I think my lesson learned here was take it off the pad even if it's a backup altimeter that loses continuity. It's not really a back up if it's not hooked up. Would a back up drogue charge have prevented the zipper? Maybe, maybe not but it wouldn't have been a bad thing.

Did you ground test? Looks like the primary drogue charge popped and either vented out the after or through the coupler joint.
@pathtouch1Ай бұрын
Yea tested twice at home and had decent separation. I think there’s a KZread short on my channel of the ground testing. once you add in a little horizontal velocity I guess things were different. Also there’s a bit of gap around my 54mm to 75mm home made adapter and the vent hole is large so you’re spot on. Anyways I actually just flew this again today and had much better luck this time! Upped the drogue charge to 6 grams. Video coming later this week.

My success rate came from a failure rate which made me well known among my neighbors. Going to a National Rocket Shoot and speaking of my crazed adventures,, alarmed everyone there, who all informed me of store bought products that were "SAFE" and how they were trying to get away from the negative events people like me had experienced which put a bad light on the hobby Яocket scientist community... and i surly had a few bad days making and working with rockets & sugar fuel, so I got away from the experimentation as I had reached my end, I had done it all. now i'm to damn old, want to keep my eye brows, and Space X is a few hours south if I want to see a rocket fly and explode.

Good eyes! This was a trial run at a vary low starting Kn of 200. This was a shake down run to start characterizing a basic propellent as part of a group experiment. This also used an Aerotech Phenolic Medusa nozzle which erroded qhite a bit so Kn went down to 150 ish throughout the burn. Max case pressure was like 350psi.
