Awesome, Im at the point too I to buy eletronicsbfir DD. I have a JL chute release but have never done a DD setup some im still searching for info. I love your videos you always answer many questions about certain things in them. Thanks again!

This is the exact point I'm at in my project. I've never flown any electronics before. I installed a simple RRC3 and battery set-up on the sled, took a pic, and texted it to a few friends as a status update to this 3" Iris build. They were all like "Wow, that is so complex! You're, like, a real rocket scientist!" That's great and all, but it means I can never show them these vids as I would immediately lose that title. I'm going with an apogee deployment with motor backup. A 15' streamer, a Jolly Logic on a 42" main, and about 30' of shock cord will all be blown out together. SERIOUS QUESTION: If you were me, where would you put the streamer/chute? Streamer attached at forward end with chute several feet down the cord, or vice versa?

Personally, I would put the streamer closer to the airframe and the chute closer to the nosecone. I really want to get one of those Jolly Logic chute releases.

@@RocketVlogs I was leaning the same way. But I was getting advice to do the opposite. After witnessing a few flights first hand in both configurations, I am going with chute near the nosecone. I just got my Jolly Logic but haven't used it yet. I saw it used many times successfully in HPR flights at the launch Saturday.

@@karlrobinson4887 I have one and I’ve used it twice. Successfully both times. I upgraded from the band to an elastic band.

@@RocketVlogs Chute release has been working perfectly, it just takes testing with your unique set-up. But after flight #4, this happened: www.rocketryforum.com/threads/so-lets-say-you-um-hypothetically-got-your-rocket-tangled-in-a-350-000-volt-transmission-line-94-feet-high.166387/

Love that rocket

Would that head and charge work in a plastic nose cone? I worry that it would just blow up instead of blowout!

You could test the batteries before and after with a volt meter....

Hi Brandon, do you still use a 1 gram BP in nose and 1.4 for apogee/booster?

Yes - show your art of 40” chute stuffed in the nose!!! Wow!!

Why not just add a 24: payload section for the main? Also the fast burn K1100 the deceleration could pull nose cone off. So make tight or use a 2-56 or 4-40 nylon shear pin.

If I wanted that I would have gotten a 3" Wildman. Nosecone is good, this rocket has flown quite a few times. K1100 flight was great save for the main hanging in the nose. It was unharmed though. Other flights have had good deployment with the head-end setup, though.
