| Team 2
headed out one more time to qualify their V2. It was a nice day, clear,
with some wind (about 10mph), They had some nice launches, but
lost their backup rocket.
Objectives:
- Qualify Team 2 with scores under 20.
Lessons
- You should not swap an E18-7W ejection
charge into a E28-4T.
- We should have practiced more with
real eggs.
- Ejecting the chute with a timer
works, but is somewhat hard to control. Apogee may be more
reliable. This is a lesson we can use next year. Maybe
an altimeter rather than a timer will improve the ejection altitude
consistency.
Congratulations to Team 2 for
completing a very difficult project. |
