Cool. Nice story.

Nice build. How are you accessing the battery for charging? I have a zagi that needs a re-cover and a mothership 6’ wing. I fly potm salt lake. I want to hit Dave’s in the spring. I’ve always wanted to fly socal beaches. (I also have nib zagi for some future build when zagi 1 dies)

It’s just a hatch I made from foam that I can lift up and access all electronics. I tape it down for flight

@serious-rc933 Ай бұрын

Thank you very much for the video, it is super useful because it shows how the flight characteristics are at different wind speeds. I am considering either the Weasel or the Alula, and I think it will be the Alula.

Nice flight! And an especially good looking and very functional main parachute!! What type is that? And what size / number of shroud lines etc. Excellent! Steve on 4 Sept 2024

@mindofwij7443 2 ай бұрын

It’s a custom chute I had made. 36” disk gap band. 24 shroud lines I believe! I also have a 6ft version for some bigger rockets, they are very cool looking and super stable.

How many Gs does this pull on takeoff?

@mindofwij7443 2 ай бұрын

around 15-20g's on takeoff.

Very nice! Do you have plans for addressing the spin on launch? The view is amazing!

@mindofwij7443 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! No plans for addressing spin.. This rocket (Athena) is just a fun rocket used for trying new components, and electronics. I have some other rockets that are much more dialed in and built for performance. Current project is a minimum diameter 54mm build that I will be making some build videos of soon!!

I'm new to this stuff, so how would you, if you wanted it to not spin?

@mindofwij7443 2 ай бұрын

@@paulgreblick This rocket has a few drawbacks. The camera shroud is somewhat big, and it’s a split fin design. Any minor misalignment causes spin. Symmetry is key for flying straight. Building the fins using templates and jigs to keep them straight while they dry is very beneficial. I now make 3d printed fin jigs to hold them in place and perfectly aligned while drying.

@dotancohen 2 ай бұрын

@@paulgreblick Reaction wheels and cold gas thrusters. No, I'm kidding, usually one of the fins has an electrically-actuated stabilizer.

@philipcrow858 2 ай бұрын

It's probably easier with video editing software to make the footage not spin, than to make the rocket not spin 😂@@paulgreblick

Nice cat. This made me get my Raider off the wall. It still flies perfectly. Pretty cool. For the last 4 years, I've been flying my M60 and Weasel at Dog Beach, Huntington Beach, and Temple Hill, Pomona. I never see anyone else, ever. The combat days are long gone. Nothing lasts forever. (except for my Raider)

Back in 1998 I got both my cert 1 and 2 in the same day. I studied and passed my cert 2 test first then on launched day I flew both my 1 and 2 rockets. No fiberglass, no electronics and no software. I flew a Kosdon I motor and a Kosdon J motor. I never got to finish my cert 3 rocket, I was 19 and couldn’t afford to finish the project at the time. If anyone is going to do their 1 and 2 flights don’t over think it. Cheers
