In this video I finalize preparation for my 5" Wildman Punisher's first flight on an Aerotech M2050 Propellant X, then my dad and I both ground test our unflown high power rockets with black powder ejection charges.

What is your shock cord's length? Is it 3 times longer than the rockets length? What do you suggest for the largest rockets? larger than 70''

Did you mention what kind of black powder you used for the test?

I'm loving the videos man. I'm just getting into setting up my dual deployment. I haven't fired my first test yet, but I'm close. I have a Raven and an AIM altimeter. Do you suggest or prefer one over the other? I L1 certed in 2012. I've been out of the hobby for about 6 years now. Any cool developments? I wish we didnt have to blow up our rockets. I was hoping someone had engineered a spring or compressed air decoupler system. Drones have controllers with GPS telemetry and OSD, I sure would love for someone to hack one for rocketry. I'm big into 3D printing and have been doing it for 10 years now. I would totally love to make some fin cans with the new resin printers, no FDM layer lines with resin. Also you can get ceramic resin to make temperature tolerant parts.

Resin printers are crazy cool, it would be sick to make fin cans with them. I have no experience with AIM but I have wanted a Raven for quite some time, just never picked one up. There's been CO2 ejection systems for quite some time, and you could probably use an altimeter for a spring-loaded piston ejection system. It's just hard to beat what works.

Do you still have your Saturn V? If so, any plans in the near future on a build?

@RocketVlogs 3 жыл бұрын

I do! I'd like to think we'll get to it sooner rather than later

Have you looked into co2 deployment/ any other deployment methods?

@RocketVlogs 2 жыл бұрын

Not explicitly as I don't fly enough to warrant Co2. I like the simplicity

So are you flying on the 17th at Jean ?

@RocketVlogs 3 жыл бұрын

I am not. This is flying at Tripoli Idaho's Swan Falls launch site.
