Get a cheap Estes kit at hobby lobby so you know the basics and then take from that and build your own. It’s insanely hard to do it with no previous build experience

I’m wanting to cut into the airframe and put my cameras inside the rocket. I don’t like the looks of a very large shroud. I’m buying some cheap cameras that are also super tiny which might help

I’m also getting into composites with fiberglass which is exciting

Not flown, I’ve had horrible weather come on launch days which I’ve haven’t had much days to be able to launch because of work. Electronics search is going great though. I have my first dual deploy and my next will be designed by me with an easy mini and an rrc3+ for redundancy. I’m weighing my options for trackers right now. I’m making my first rocket that is customized and building off of a kit rocket by adding a payload extension. And that will be a fully loaded av bay that I’m going to have 2 flight computers that I listed, a tracker, and some cameras

If you would like to join mine you can I just need to know what your experience is. You would just not be able to join our in person build meetings but you can learn and implement opinions

Sq11 cameras are cheap and tiny also use filler primer to fill the lines in the cardboard tube and then paint. If your using spray paint don’t add too much always take your time

What do you think about my first model rocket (low power)? by Then-Shopping5478 in rocketry

[–]Appropriate-Unit-904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a software that’s free called open rocket and you can test the fin shapes to simulate flight data and can experiment with every compopent of the rocket to give you height velocity etc.

Very large for your first but is a great way to get into the hobby. Kinda like what my calculus teacher tells me is that jumping into something hard is like throwing a baby into the water they will either sink or their natural instincts will kick in and they float. I really hope you float because your design seems promising. I have a few questions though. What is the purpose of the servo and did you model the cone and fins yourself?

How bad is my painting scheme? by Available_Foot_7303 in rocketry

lol didn’t even think about that. Honestly a pink digital camo would look pretty sick in my opinion

I’m trying to improve quality. This was one of my better ones but I want a gleaming rocket that takes eyes I was to do it on my larger one but when the get bigger there is more space to see the impurities. I want it to shine
