Hi, I'm new to this section, so I apologize in advance :-) I'm primarily an intermediate aircraft modeler (I have a workshop, I know glues and materials, I'm familiar with basic modeling procedures) and I would like to expand my modeling to include rocket models I wanted to ask how best and
- ANNOUNCEMENT: OpenRocket 24. 12 beta 1 is now available for download
The OpenRocket team is pleased to release the first public beta for OpenRocket 24 12 Standard caveats for beta releases apply: we have no known outstanding bugs, but once it gets wider usage issues may crop up, which will be fixed for the final release In the meantime, please give it a spin
- Mid-Power Rocket | Rocketry Forum - Model Rocketry Forums
I am looking to get into mid-power rocketry I built a few beginner rockets like the tandem x set I also made two custom rockets for my middle school science fair I am really enjoying this hobby and want to get into something bigger Does anyone have any recommendations I prefer Estes rockets
- USCRPLs Aftershock II becomes Highest and Fastest amateur rocket of . . .
Aftershock II has officially become the highest and fastest amateur rocket of all time! Following its successful launch and recovery on October 20, 2024, data from the on-board avionics unit was collected and analyzed to reconstruct the rocket’s flight path After a thorough internal review, the
- Best Radio Module for Telemetry? - Rocketry Forum
I have found several projects on long-range communication and other rocket telemetry systems They all use different radio transmitters and receivers and I would like some guidance on which one is ideal for my specific application I don't plan on flying over 3000 ft so I don't need super long-range communication
- Setting CD in Open Rocket | Rocketry Forum - Model Rocketry Forums
The team has modelled our rocket, with OR predicting an apogee of 790ish, and the actual flight goes to 950ish (we use Dan Wolf's equation to get a tru-er altitude value) So we want to adjust OR's CD for our rocket, but the numbers don't make sense: to get OR to match the flight, we need to drop the CD override value to 2 or less
- Nose cone shapes. What are the pros and cons? - Rocketry Forum
In regards to drag, rounded nose cones (i e with an elliptical or paraboloidal profile) offer the lowest drag at subsonic speeds, while pointed (conical, or ogive) nose cones perform best at transsonic and supersonic speeds The nose cone shape won't affect the CG CP relationship all that much, in relation to other factors in the rocket's design (i e overall length, fin size and location
- Alternatives to Rocketpoxy? - Rocketry Forum
What are your recommendations for an alternative epoxy in lieu of Rocketpoxy? I've just been using all-purpose epoxies from Home Depot like those made by Loctite or J-B weld
