Super sick fin design and paint scheme! Parachute candled a little bit (it happens), but it looks like you built it to take a J-motor, so hell yeah! Send it for your L2! It took me three attempts to get my L1.
They definitely induce some drag just by nature of having multiple airflow delamination areas across the fin, but I think it's relatively negligible compared to the drag that comes with the sheer surface area of the fin. But thats just my speculation, I haven't done any actual analysis of the drag profile of the fins.
Thanks! It's Aeropoxy ES6209 structural epoxy ( www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/wppages/aeropoxyes6209.php ). Super strong stuff. Pretty overkill for an L1 but those fins aren't coming off!
I'm not sure what organization you're certifying with but one of the NAR questions is "Recovery system deployed?". Sorry, I wouldn't call that a successful deployment.
It was a beautiful flight and I'd hate to say it, but you are right. That was a failed level 1 certification flight according to the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). It sucks, but the rules are the rules and they are there for a reason. It's all about safety. With that being said, i'm very proud of her and I hope my daughter takes to model rocketry like this young lady. Safe flying folks!
Not to diminish any accomplishments, she is a beauty rocket, but it did look like the chute was tangled. This should be a disqualifier, but perhaps it just appears that way in the video.
Well, I guess it depends on how you perceive things. For example, streamer recovery is allowed as a method of recovery for certification. Although the chute didn't fully expand, it DID deploy, and at the right time. The chute ended up acting as a streamer and brought the rocket down safely, without damage to the rocket, and it was re-flyable -- as is required per the NAR certification guidelines. The L3CC member who witnessed the flight deemed it a successful L1 :)
Oh wow! This is fantastic! My friend's daughter is just starting to develop an interest in rocketry and will be thrilled to see your build!
Awesome! Always awesome to hear about more people developing an interest in the hobby
Congratulations! It was a pleasure to watch your build and flight! 👍🏻😎

oh my god clarinda that was really awsome i did not know that you have so much talent congratulations love you tio Pepe keep it up good job🥰❣👍👏👏👏
You definitely did it your way. Beyond cool.
Do you think the cutouts in the stabilizers introduce a lot of drag?

That’s some thickkkkkkkk epoxy. But congrats!

Congratulations. Great looking bird, I mean fish. Lol. What kit did you make it from. Again, great painting.
Thanks! This was made from the Binder Design Terrordactyl kit
@@PulsarPropulsionLab Yes. Knew I had seen it before but just couldn’t place it. Great job.
Nice job, congrats on level 1.
Thank you!
Congrats on the L1!
Is that 3-fin alignment guide commercially available?
Thanks! Unfortunately not, this is something we 3D printed at home
@@PulsarPropulsionLab Well then may I suggest you make these for all popular tube sizes and market them. (Please start with 4").
Happy flying!
Nice looking rocket :). Now you got your L2 and L3 to look forward to :D
Thanks!
the fins look awesome!
Thank you!
Fly!
What epoxy did you use?
Aeropoxy ES6209 -- we use it for all our builds
Nice build. Intentional and careful at every step. Well done.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! CONGRATS!!!
Thank you!
Nice congrats
Thank you!
