Some GPS have built in protection that disable GPS module above certain speed to prevent using them in rocket guided missiles ( such as the one that you've built) Maybe try UWB localization methods ? Best of luck ! EDIT: After reading datasheets of couple cheap GPS modules it seems that they have a limit of 4G acceleration then they shut down for legal reasons. I think that's more probable cause than speed limit.

I'm not sure how reliable the Velocity from GPS is. They use the dopper effect to get the speed which accuracy is debatable. Aircraft to this day use piot tubes for airspeed (also a thing bc if you fly into the wind gps is ground speed). And there are ones for drones aswell with i2c connections. Just a suggestion. Awesome video!!

You can see a major issue at 1:02 - Your wings and ailerons are wobbling under excess load. I had this issue all the time when running foam models with electric motors that had 5-10x the recommended wattage, great fun btw, nothing quite like seeing a drivetrain being ripped out of a poorly reinforced foam fuselage.. Anyway, the best solution I found for wobbly wings was a carbon fiber spar. I used 0.5mm and 1mm thick flatstock that was wider than the thickness of the wing. i then cut the wing all the way through lengthwise and used contact cement (UHU POR) to glue everything back together, then dremeled off the excess carbon fiber material. You would not believe how stiff such a wing was, afterwards. For ailerons, I reinforced the root of the wing cutout in a similar fashion and then used fiberglassed balsa ailerons instead of the original foam ones. They tend to hold the torsion forces much more reliably.

@grahambaker6289 Жыл бұрын

the ailerons are wobling because of the gyro correcting and over correcting itself at a very fast speed i think

Have you plugged the boosters with compressed cat litter to prevent the engine casing from ejecting from last time? The reason I am suggesting this is to make a more powerful and completed burn of all the propellent the engine has, like the A10-P.

Fantastic video! I would love to work with you on part 3 of this project if that is possible somehow?! I have also wanted to try a rocket for a long time. I think you could go way beyond 400kmh even with foam. A Funjet airframe is already capable of 400kmh+, so we can easily build something better than a Funjet. Do you have access to bigger motors or is the max legal size? I know Ceasaroni do some huge motors, but don't know about the laws here in the Uk. Do you want a colab for pt3? I actually don't see why we couldn't challenge the outright record for pt4.. It would be possible go beyond transonic with a small delta and the biggest motor we could get hold of, maybe work with a licensed rocketry specialist to get access to the big boy motors!

I would say that leaving the camera off could easily gain you 20mph. Creating a clear naca shaped shroud over it should gain you most of that speed. The gains from the shortened wings and the sharpened trailing edges of the wings would be nothing compared to the blunt body of the camera sticking out the top of the airframe. Great result with a fairly low tech build.
