Description

Sky Cam

So this is an UNTESTED (aka Alpha) bird designed to loft an Estes Astrocam to exciting new heights!

I currently can't test fly this - so I'm calling on you brave 3D Printed Rocket souls to test fly one before I can. (won't be until September)

It's an 18mm based two stage bird that has a cluster in the booster stage.

The Chambers for the booster will direct the staging charge to ignite the upper stage.

I've been thinking MAYBE the second motor in the first stage cluster has a delay charge that could (in theory) push out a streamer to aid in the recovery of the booster, but that said if you fly over grass, it likely will tumble recover just fine.

Additional Parts you'll need

  • Parachute
  • Shock cord of your preference
  • Estes Astrocam
  • BT-20 (18mm) body tube
  • BT-50 (24mm) body tube

 

The fin cans are designed to allow for multicolor printing.

 

The nosecone has a channel down the middle so you can run the recovery shock cord down the middle and suspend the nosecone downward to record the landing!
