Picture isn’t great, but I watched the launch from Cocoa Beach
Whoa that's so cool
Also nice!
You could really hear and feel the rumble of the rocket
It was awesome
Yes!!!!
History
Yes baby they got em both yeet!!!!
It’s great to know that we’re watching history happen
I wonder what upgrades they'll do to the fairings. New fairings are really cool with the aluminum tips, rcs, and chutes. They're practically spaceships of their own
Dude, fairing surfing sounds like an extreme sport
Haha
I saw close ups before
And they use spread tow weave carbon fiber!
It looks so cool! My rockets use twill weave, but spread tow sure weave carbon fiber sure gives the more "aerospace" feel
I believe they use spread tow on the landing legs too, along with alumnium honeycomb for the insides
Either way, it was a pitty seeing those practically handlaid carbon fiber fairings being thrown away
This has been a surprisingly active channel. Good to know there are a lot of fellow av geeks out there.
Yeah! Lol.
Trial and error is the key to success
@Dr Badass PhD more than AV I like spaceflight. Space is the place
Me too @Yukon
Carbon fiber around PLA for TVC mount Rev 2!
And some hexagonal cuts to reduce weight. Hopefully it will be able to withstand the impulse of a H class model rocket motor
^Rev 1 from stafic fire August 2019
It showed some wear at certain parts which hopefully Rev 2 will fix
Does anyone know where I can get cheap Phantom 2 Vision+ smart batterys?
Two of mine are bloated and where I looked new they are 100 dollars a piece so I might as well just buy a mavic if im going to buy 2 new ones
Today in 1961 Gus Grissom was the second American in space aboard the rocket "Liberty bell 7"
Gus Grissom was a legend
Yeah I wished that he didn't die in the apollo 1 fire
There was probably a good chance that if he didn't die he would have been the first man on the moon
i have one of those
