h&k machineguns Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I think thay would be perfect for a 2 stager as the launching device thay are insainly powerful. I'm gonna do a s stagere wih a flare motor as a lifter and then have a whistle mix/benzonate motor as the second stage and a nice big salute as the payload and see how high i can get it Don;t forget the video for us all.
val77 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) This is the flare and parachute. The flare is a red strontium/magnesium based 15,000 candela block on the left of the photo. It burns for approx 60 seconds and can be seen for 40 miles. the parachute is nylon or cotton ? because it seems to me that military rocket parachute flare parachutes are made of nylon Edited August 9, 2012 by val77
val77 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I witnessed probably over 200 of these being done this last weekend at the Big Sandy machinegun shoot. Everywhere they were being launched in the daytime and night.I have 6 of them ,and know a guy that has probably over 50 of them. Amazing how inexpensive they are for what you get. I think they are $10 a piece,but if you get 10 or more they are around $6,then 100 or more,I think I heard $3 a piece.. They move actually pretty fast,and go very high. I'm thinking of mounting one on the end of a whistle rocket,somewhat like a 2 stage deal.I'm thinking 4'000 + feet y have a video of big sandy night shot with parachute flare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJFGzG0KeOA
val77 Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Here is a picture of a rocket parachute sold in France http://i37.servimg.com/u/f37/16/97/86/45/imag0021.jpg http://i37.servimg.com/u/f37/16/97/86/45/imag0022.jpg http://i37.servimg.com/u/f37/16/97/86/45/imag0023.jpg the rocket has no nozzles around the main nozzle as it is stabilized by the aluminum tube Edited September 3, 2012 by val77
