you sound like a great person

aww

What kind of pilot....pilots are cool!

I'll make you proud

Your one of the nicest people i have seen in. Comment section ty for being so nice i love nice people

I love that bit too.

15:17 That was surprisingly amazing!

i'm assuming the casing is only cardboard... what about just giving it a light sanding

How about using the lube he had on hand?

And a large vice

I might suggest that you use a ball joint press for repairing drive axles... Less potentially catastrophic pounding involved. It's just a screw drive press, and they're comparatively cheap and large.

@@Unmannedair The grains are rubber based. It's pretty easy to damage them if you apply a lot of force. Peeling a layer of paper off is absolutely the best way to make a tight grain fit into a liner.

This is so cool, and totally makes sense! Thank you!

I was wondering about that, the fact that the rocket weighed over 200 lbs and Joe holding it in one arm looking for the center of gravity didn't seem right lol

@@austingilbert7356 It was 23.3lbs on the scale (aka 10.6 kg) not 233lbs.

@@Hagop64 oh thanks lol, that makes more sense

Given the winds, pre-calculating the flight profile would have involved some fancy math, with a small margin of error. 🧐🤔

and the most important thing: use the angle grinder the right way! he uses it upside down, which is very dangerous. Always hold it in a way that it is pulling itself away from your body, so if it binds up, nothing happens...

Bihari??

Not as good as Joes (obviously) but I did a 10km shot on a rocket pretty similar to Lumineer. The final cost was $1200, plus a $1000 dollar motor. Edit: This was my first composite build, so a good amount of the cost was from trial and error and getting all the necessary things for working with fiberglass. Should be a much cheaper build on my next composite rocket.

Sure! For a rocket like this you can probably do it for under $1000USD but it depends on what you're spending with tools. The rocket motor is a few hundred dollars, but you'll need the case separately which is *also* a few hundred dollars - that's probably where most of the money will go. Fiberglass tubes and fins aren't too expensive depending on how you do them. A nice chute like this is about $250 depending on where you get it, and the rest of your budget can be eaten up by avionics. Tons of ways to build rockets like this though! You could do all sorts of bells and whistles and spend like 10k on something this scale, or you could get a little sketchy and maybe do it for less than $500 if you're borrowing the motor case/etc. Having rocketry friends can help you cut costs a lot :)

Hijacking the top comment to say please get in touch with me directly with regards your cracked SD card. I work with the same company that recovered data from the Columbia space shuttle disaster, and I'm sure we can help. Edit: check your Twitter they've messaged you - company called Ontrack

Or send the SD card out with the tesla roadster

You could connect parachutes to the SD card itself.

@@shipofthesun Hot melt glue it to a fly for softer landing.

@@robertsmith2956 I like the cut of your jib.

this is the Way & the reason I came to comment.

I have an insta 360 camera and the biggest issue I face with it is that if the camera gets damaged by a fall or a crash, it shuts off, and doesn't complete saving the video file to the sd card. You lose a few minutes of footage at the end if you try to recover the data, so basically you miss the most exciting part. Wouldn't recommend for this application.

Yeah unbeliavable how this guy manages to crack an sd card again smh
