Jul 14, 2015 · Here is a bug I've just recently noticed in 23.09 and which isn't fixed in the beta. On a Mac, if dark mode is enabled, printing the design info places a dark background behind a portion of the graphic of the rocket in the generated PDF (as shown below using the included example model rocket file).

Sep 27, 2022 · Eggfinders use 900MHz Hope RF modules for the GPS telemetry. Work very well out to a few miles. The optional 400MHz modules (Requires an FCC ham radio license) go 10's of miles and is only needed if rocket is going very high and expected to recover miles away.

Dec 31, 2022 · I ordered Xyla's Miss Fire kit the day I saw it, and it arrived this week. I'll post pictures of the build if I get time (anybody who saw my L3 Certification Package knows I can get carried away with builds) but in the meantime I created an OpenRocket file for anybody who needs it. I unboxed...

Sep 8, 2019 · Pair it with a Black Aero receiver case and you can have a complete GPS tracker for less then $250. And that only requires you to carry one item to get you to rocket. I have used the featherweight and T3. Both work great and the featherweight has some cooler features. But you still have to carry a receiver and another device to find your rocket.

Aug 8, 2022 · FWIW: The best way, IMO, is to start with one of the Open Rocket Examples, save it to your directory with a new name, and then start modifying it. Measure the parts, weigh the parts and then input the data. You'll start building a database of rocket simulations made by @Frausing and can start using those as your baselines.

Nov 16, 2024 · 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...

Feb 19, 2025 · If two rockets are given the same initial speed and angle from the same starting altitude, the one with the higher ballistic coefficient goes farther. Note that the rocket with the smaller Cd will not necessarily go farther. With a multi-stage rocket, it'shelpful if the upper stage has a high ballistic coefficient.

Sep 17, 2018 · So, if your rocket corkscrews on the way up or goes significantly off-vertical then it's going to overstate the AGL altitude by a fair amount. Unless you're going over 60K, I'd personally trust the baro altitude figure over the accelerometer figure ALONE.
