Many of these videos are for my website www/AngelisElectronics.com As for the rest of them, about the only common thread is that these are all my videos. They range from music, to receptions, odd stuff, and of course lots of rocket launches.
Ummm,....the seat is bolted to the chassis...they "adjust" the seats and the petals back at the race shop. There not gonna adjust seats for people Doing ten laps or less.
Imo this is a great start now all you need to do is somehow add another row of knobs that would represent the envelopes (5-7 stage as some synths have more env parameters) that’s where the real fun begins (apart from the obvious filter & resonance) also It looks like this is a rough box you’ve made but a slimmer lower more aesthetically pleasing box that is not so deep from front to back so it can sit better on most of these 80’s synths without knobs ex: Alpha Juno , Poly 800 , DW 8000/6000 etc.
I appreciate the comments, but that's not going to happen. This is a one-or-two build box and unless someone puts up a few grand for product development and a few tens of a grand for marketing this will never be manufactured or sold. The box is as deep as it is because I used up some older control panels I had so they cost nothing, (and frankly were for sale to electronic hobbyists but nobody wanted to buy them.) The feet underneath were placed to fit snugly on the DW 6000 and DW 8000 and they sit comfortably there and work great. Since I don't intend to place this on any other synth it really doesn't matter - and some of those synths I don't own so I don't know how I could program or test them !
No way! I couldn't afford another lap. I'll be back out for flying. I just wish the club would open up the weekends and fly on the better weather days and cancel the worse-weather day.
Rich - I had no idea you were such a musician - since we've never really met except through Lisa. I'm in awe of the sound, the beauty of what you've done. I used to say I could play the piano - now that I have heard this, I think I'll not say that anymore. All I can say - Holy Heavens Above. What a piece!!
Thanks Rick! That's what I've been trying to accomplish for I guess a couple of years now. Difficult to say the least. While the high, fast flights are more impressive to watch live, I've learned that the lower-power flights are easier to capture on video. I love it when I am able to get the ejection and parachute deployment close up. Next to impossible to react fast enough when I am pushing the launch button by myself, but it's even more impossible to get somebody else to help me launch rockets. What's with SPAAR now anyways? Seems nobody cares about flying much anymore. They missed two really good weather days lately.
Thanks. To answer your question, I flew it two more times since then. On it's second flight, in calm air, it turned sharply after takeoff and flew very far down the field. I think the nozzle may have cracked causing a misaligned thrust. It coasted into tall grass before ejection, and without an accurate fix I spent hours and hours searching for it but it was never seen again. Lost with the altimeter and it's data. Since then I vowed to never fly small rockets in tall grass. In the same field I have spent many hours searching for rockets when I could have been flying more. Sadly, it was the only rocket I didn't manage to somehow recover.
Thanks! I only wanted to test out my editing software, I didn't have video clips and that was the only subject I had with a lot of pictures. Glad you liked it. I wasn't sure anybody would actually find it interesting other than me. Now that I'm video-taping this years flights, I'll probably assemble them into a 2012 "yearbook" next winter.
Hi Rich, Really like your rocket collection and how you handle the details and stats for them. Keep up the great work reporting your flights for all to see online. Good luck this summer with your launches Rock Sinders (SRP Crew)
