Nice flight. I would think you guys would want some type of remote for flight to keep it straight. Maybe add some side wings, with remote control? And a camera with no fish eye effect. Good luck on next one.
People are using them. I just haven’t thus far. Getting the canards sized appropriately and designed in a way to handle the extreme changes in acceleration and velocity is daunting to me but I intend to start working on a module in the future. This sustainer has always spun more than others. I’ve suspected some slight imbalance in fin beveling somewhere, and I’ve investigated it a lot but haven’t been able to solve the problem. A side effect of the spinning has been that it flies very straight fwiw but kills the camera work. Here is someone I know that had done tons of stabilization work. ruclips.net/video/g0mmXapP3mg/видео.html
Our test rocket- thevTrc-450 achieved an altitide of 37,067 ft and drifted 4 miles with a parachute. We found the rocket stuck in tjenmudd of a cow pasture.
Can you provide more technical details? Altimeter(s), air starts, cameras, etc...? How did you get the nifty display on the video? This was an awesome flight. I was there.
Zeke Johnson Hey there and thanks. I added more details to the description that should cover your questions. If you have any more specific ones, let me know and I’ll be happy to answer.
SWEET! Crazy spin though. How do you counteract that? Couple gyroscopes maybe? I used to do homemade Este's C,D, and E's back when I was a kid. This looks like a boatload more fun!!!
The rocket is the gyro, rockets that don't spin at all tend to make arcing flights because of small drag asymmetries. Fortunately, most rockets spin on their own because they have low longitudinal stability.
Stuart Marshall it’s a shame that there was so much rotational speed to prevent a better view. Do you know why the change in rotation? Initial spin wasn’t so bad, but then it changed direction at a faster rate.
@@Ftw9195 I'm guessing that the two sets of fins were initially canceling each other's rolling force until the booster stages. Watch for the roll to switch direction when it looses that second set of fins.
Nice video! Too bad about the spin, but I'm sure its really hard to control since its impossible to get the fins *PERFECT*. I was there on Saturday. I was going to stay for Sunday and Monday but a sick kid in the middle of the night changed my plans... which day was this one launched?
@@Hobbes746 go work out what feet and sea level is before being a mong !!! you dobt measure curve in any of the 2 ,, you dumbos need to go back too school and not the indoctrination 1
@@melvinp1324 Tyson was wrong when he said that. Actual studies show that humans can see Earth’s curvature with the naked eye at any altitude above 10 km. If you hold a ruler up to the horizon, you can see it at sea level. We can confirm this by doing a geodetic survey: every piece of seemingly-flat land is curved, so are all bodies of water. Sea level is a spherical surface.
Hey was wondering if you could help me with a problem I have. There is no one around me in Illinois to help me haha. I kinda scratch build rockets and I wanna build a rocket that is 10 feet tall and can run any where from 1 -10 motors i just need help i wanna impress my folks can you help me come up with a design I bet my mom a 100$ that I can build a rocket that like 10 feet tall another thing to mention is that I have the electronics as in altimeters and a electronics bay already build from a previous rocket that would work with a 4.00 INCH diameter. So do you have any ideas I have all the explosive charges to handle the parachute being blown out and such do not worry bout that. but yeah could you help possibly.???
Could be one single tree in that entire field, and the rocket will always find it.. Awesome Video!
NewJerseyJay no doubt.
isnt that the charlie brown syndrome with the kite ?
That's insane how fast the speed climbs when that booster kicks in and I can only imagine what the g forces were.
That acceleration is incredible. No human would be able to stand the G force.
My Coal this is an amateur missile 😂
Launch from on top of Mt Everest and get a 29,000 ft elevation head start. No trees around there either.
Awesome video, congratulations
The easiest way probably
It’s super interesting how it rotates one way on launch then as it’s breaks the sound barrier it starts to spin the other way.
No it spins the other way before mach 1
Wow want a flight totally awsome hope your ther in sept i would love to see it.. clear skies my friend
It literally found the only trees in all of Kansas and then landed in them.
KLOUDbusters always host a good event. Great flight!
Outstanding job !!!! Thanks for sharing.
Metric conversions:
Final altitude: 8698.66m
Maximum speed: 572.9m/s
Seems a lot of the deceleration was due to atmospheric drag.
Same here man. Always end up in the trees. Great launch!
I know about trees. When I was a kid I flew homemade balsa gliders and would often find the only branch in the only tree around.
That first pop was a sonic boom.
Nice launch, nice video, nice job
That's awesome, to bad they couldn't control the spinning during the launch phase. Maybe have little control surfaces on the fins.....
The spinning actually helps.
The spinning is the control
camera gopro make eart to look round
In thrust we trust
Interesting pre-flight build-up, and then the launch: a row of motor vehicles...and a porta-potty.
What is the vertical distance traveled, what type of driving motor did he use, and how much did he weigh
So da erf really does rotate @ 1000mph then!
Why did it start spinning in opposite direction?
Argonia not windy!? Whoa!
Why not make the camera face the sky?
Because that would be a boring view. Having the ground in view shows how the altitude of the rocket changes.
Because what would be the point of that? What is there to see that we can’t already see?
Agreed. The ground is cool. 🚀🚀🚀
BRILLIANT BRO
awesome! I'm working on a smaller (J to I) two stage now
2-stagers are 🔥! Ping me here once you get it off the ground. Good luck!

nah, a gyro controlling the roll rate of the rocket would be the way to go, but idk what the various orgs think about guided rockets.
@@chrismofer Guided rockets are illegal... you have to go out to sea to fire a guided rocket... a bunch in Europe did this, look for their video.
Great vid thanks 🙏
Tree finder: engage!
Y’all see now the earth is wobbly!
Did you need clearance from the FAA to do this launch? It would get into their airspace.
Yes I did. Would be outrageously dumb to do something like this without clearance and confirmation of clear skies overhead.
Thanks for posting
At least the trees cushioned the impact LOL 😂
Great job! Yes there can only be one tree and...
Can I ask what you’re using to get that telemetry data onscreen?
The flight controllers on drones and planes have a gyro why is no one using similar type tech to stop the spin?

Hey Doc... what is the word/phrase to describe the moment when the rocket reverses it spin ?
Nice flight
Our test rocket- thevTrc-450 achieved an altitide of 37,067 ft and drifted 4 miles with a parachute. We found the rocket stuck in tjenmudd of a cow pasture.
How far was the landing point from the take-off point? I'm just curious.
It was about 1.5 miles
Amazing flight 🚀I’m trying to make a two stage rocket too, how does the staging works ?

What was the distance of the landing from the launch site?
Awesome effort, telemetry, and documentation!
Thanks! It landed roughly 1.5 miles from the pad. Not too bad.
Отличный запуск...!!!

Awesome video, thank you.
I seen one rocket a guy did hit the fermanet it was going fast and dunk it stopped like right now. Type in rocket hits dome ypu will find it.
♥Hallelujah and praise, Hallelujah great
Is it supposed to spin like that?
I think it's from upper atmospheric winds.
This rocket could be a great anti air defense with that kind of speed.
Its is sugar rocket??? Or HTPB??
Hey there - Its HTPB/composite. Actually commercial CTI motors. The designations are in the video description. Thanks
Hey! It didn't hit the dome!!!
🤯
There is no dome.
Because there isn't one.
No shit Sherlock. Sarcasm much?
Someone did not glue a fin on straight.
Wdym?
I still contend it’s an uneven bevel of one of the leading edges.

Family White TV Thanks! This was from Friday afternoon.
A chainsaw is part of the recovery system/equipment then.
Sweeet!
Круто👍
Better to use two chute . None will spin
28,530*
Almost 29,000 feet. About as high as commercial airliners fly. Of course, they should've been warned by the FAA for violating US airspace
And higher than many other aircraft fly. The FAA was of course warned, a permit procured and airspace cleared.
Trees reduce damage..until retrieval 🤣

Hold a ruler up to the horizon. The curvature is clearly visible.
