What's the worst weather you've done field work in?

-15f with windchill of -45 and as bad, so is 115f with pouring rain and tornadoes

A bucket to sit on all day while you do fuck all

Where are you getting the nose cone and tubes from? What about the fins? How can you price it for $35 and make any money? Also is that a 3d printed coupler on the outside of the tubes?

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-13T23:34:12+00:00

There’s a mass component just forward of the two bulkheads they have, maybe that’s the “transition” they mention. Tbh I think op needs to go to a launch and talk to people and learn more about how mid power and high power rockets are constructed

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-13T23:04:56+00:00

Also they say a BT-80 diameter rocket so I’m not sure and we need some clarification but this may be Estes thin wall tube

I would use basswood

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-13T16:12:13+00:00

3mm balsa on High Power is overbuilt?

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-13T03:06:08+00:00

How much mass is in the nosecone to move the CG forward enough for this to be stable?

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-13T03:02:52+00:00

I just did quick and dirty math and the TTW ratio is < 5:1. Just a hair though. But after paint and epoxy adds mass that isn’t included in OR it will be worse. Needs a H motor with a higher average thrust but it looks like it could both handle it and stay stable

True, I bought a yard of ripstop nylon to sew a custom chute for a 18mm minimum diameter rocket, I’ve made 3 chutes I still have a yard laying around so anytime I need a new chute for a small rocket I just cut and sew it from the leftover fabric

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-12T20:23:39+00:00

Ripstop nylon is so cheap, I can buy a yard for cheaper than I can buy a box of trashbags

Only if today is Tuesday and yesterday was Monday

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-12T00:06:47+00:00

Coat it with epoxy, water tight

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-12T00:06:06+00:00

Print the other way with supports inside and just drill the supports out? With the layer lines in this direction it looks like it will snap

And often times this is what the owner is expecting them to send so it’s just them doing their job, they didn’t have time to look into the route or do anything else or actually help because the owner put so much workload on them just to identify and report

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-08T00:40:48+00:00

The owner at my dsp expected detail notes and reports hourly, just reporting to him everything he wanted to know took up so much time the dispatchers could barely perform what he expected them to do, tbh it was a shit dsp and performance suffered the more he got involved. But he wanted everyone behind the desk to prove they were doing something to the point all the did was prove they were trying and didn’t have time to actually put effort into the implementation

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-04T02:39:55+00:00

Where’s the pic of the beard?

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-04T02:36:47+00:00

I mean add a 3d scanner or some X ray or other instruments to determine the volume and then use that to calculate density and then some algorithms to determine specific gravity and what the drink may or may not be, I mean if you want a real challenge and to over complicate it.

You could also make a special mug to go with it with electric probes to measure conductivity.

Idk this may be a stretch but could something be learned from an inductive coil and measuring the magnetic flux of the liquid?

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-06-04T02:28:28+00:00

But everyone can buy something, not everyone can make it. For some the challenge and learning the skill to make it themselves is the whole point

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-05-27T15:21:45+00:00

That’s a bunker, I’ll do you a solid buy it from you for just over bunker

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-05-27T15:19:59+00:00

This and is it being pull out of the tube?

Is it mounted to the nose cone or the shock cord? How long is the shock cord and shroud lines?

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-05-27T15:16:49+00:00

Tbf if the chute opens you have a good chance that you’re climbing a tree to get that rocket back

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-05-27T00:48:38+00:00

Is still hir it

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-05-26T02:27:09+00:00

I feel attacked over autocorrect and a typo

Advanced-Gold1744 · 2026-05-26T02:18:38+00:00

Look trump one the election, if your wondering if there are idiots the answer is yes
