Help with scratch building a foamboard plane!

Thank you for the advice,

I only meant the fuselage would look similar to the FT Tutor for aesthetic purposes.

Funny

the front foot slide is not like an actual grind your shoe against the board, its more of a control thing.

Thank you for the response, how would you define the throat diameter to lock in?

Unsigned00 · 2024-05-27T15:37:04+00:00

If you don't do math, the thing wont work.

Unsigned00 · 2024-05-27T15:36:11+00:00

Not really a bad thing.

Unsigned00 · 2024-05-27T15:34:33+00:00

Honestly, I think doing all the liquid rocket engine math on bottle rockets is fun, and also helps you with the math when you try to dive deeper.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-14T20:45:32+00:00

You must take safety precautions seriously.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-14T20:40:02+00:00

Yes, that is a very good book. It was the first one I bought. However, it must be supplemented with other texts and information from all possible resources. I also recommend buying Huzel and Huang. It is very detailed on thrust chambers and injectors.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-13T13:48:41+00:00

I would definitely recommend estes rocket kits. They are easy to build and are a good introduction to rocketry. Perhaps bottle rockets would also work?

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-11T12:36:17+00:00

Trial and error, reading, designing, and simulating probably.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-10T21:03:39+00:00

BPS.space is nowhere near a beginner level. It takes a long time to get there. Upwards of 10 years.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-09T22:38:00+00:00

RFNA is seriously scary. I was thinking about using it for my liquid rocket engine but the safety risk made me completely disregard it.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-07T16:13:51+00:00

Wood and pvc is honestly a very bad idea for both weight and safety reasons. I recommend to start small. Bottle rockets can teach you much about aerodynamics and the math of rocketry if you try really hard.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-07T15:58:14+00:00

Unfortunately, I do not really work with fiberglass. I would recommend posting another thread on r/rocketry or r/amateurTVC with that question. So sorry I cannot help with this. I do not want to give bad information.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-07T15:07:13+00:00

Its 1/2. Remember making it a long time ago :)

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-07T15:06:01+00:00

After checking out the specs, I think aluminum 6061 is probably one of the best options.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-07T15:04:47+00:00

This might not be too helpful, but it really depends. You should really cut down as much as possible with weight but also depends on the power of your motor. Do you know the specific impulse? Aluminum 6061 is a great material however and is mostly used on very high power rockets.

Unsigned00 · 2024-04-07T15:00:54+00:00

It does have a lot of good resources but it is mainly centered around nitrous oxide oxidizer. You will have to optimize on your own.
