@witoldkaptur59 Год назад

Some GPS have built in protection that disable GPS module above certain speed to prevent using them in rocket guided missiles ( such as the one that you've built) Maybe try UWB localization methods ? Best of luck ! EDIT: After reading datasheets of couple cheap GPS modules it seems that they have a limit of 4G acceleration then they shut down for legal reasons. I think that's more probable cause than speed limit.

@iolithblue Год назад

That certain speed is like mach 2+

@ESS284 Год назад

@@iolithblue Could also be the polling rate of the consumer GPS? Depending on unit it could be 5-100 hz from what I understand? I'm wondering is it possible that polling rate may not have been synced up with the quite short instance of max speed over the fences.

@@inventiveowl395 You gave me an idea, since he wants the footage looking behind the plane, maybe putting the camera inside the plane at an angle and attach a mirror on the outside so the camera can see straight back can be a better idea?

@OMEGOOLIEBIRD Год назад

Fantastic video! I would love to work with you on part 3 of this project if that is possible somehow?! I have also wanted to try a rocket for a long time. I think you could go way beyond 400kmh even with foam. A Funjet airframe is already capable of 400kmh+, so we can easily build something better than a Funjet. Do you have access to bigger motors or is the max legal size? I know Ceasaroni do some huge motors, but don't know about the laws here in the Uk. Do you want a colab for pt3? I actually don't see why we couldn't challenge the outright record for pt4.. It would be possible go beyond transonic with a small delta and the biggest motor we could get hold of, maybe work with a licensed rocketry specialist to get access to the big boy motors!

The GPS is irrelevant - this is an aircraft, not a car. He needs to measure airspeed.

@castform57 4 месяца назад

@@aGabay even air speed is kinda tough one. A super light plane can take off at 0 ground speed in high wind for example. Is that plane moving fast? No, it's the wind blowing fast.

@aGabay 4 месяца назад

@@castform57 you are right and wrong. Yes, from a geographical stand point it's not moving. But from the aerodynamic stand point it is moving! Pilots use airspeed to fly the plane, ground speed is used only for navigation.

Have you plugged the boosters with compressed cat litter to prevent the engine casing from ejecting from last time? The reason I am suggesting this is to make a more powerful and completed burn of all the propellent the engine has, like the A10-P.

@jojojo33333 Год назад

I'm not sure how reliable the Velocity from GPS is. They use the dopper effect to get the speed which accuracy is debatable. Aircraft to this day use piot tubes for airspeed (also a thing bc if you fly into the wind gps is ground speed). And there are ones for drones aswell with i2c connections. Just a suggestion. Awesome video!!

Radio waves are effectively moving at the speed of light so there is no measurable doppler effect.

@CallmeSam00 Год назад

You can see a major issue at 1:02 - Your wings and ailerons are wobbling under excess load. I had this issue all the time when running foam models with electric motors that had 5-10x the recommended wattage, great fun btw, nothing quite like seeing a drivetrain being ripped out of a poorly reinforced foam fuselage.. Anyway, the best solution I found for wobbly wings was a carbon fiber spar. I used 0.5mm and 1mm thick flatstock that was wider than the thickness of the wing. i then cut the wing all the way through lengthwise and used contact cement (UHU POR) to glue everything back together, then dremeled off the excess carbon fiber material. You would not believe how stiff such a wing was, afterwards. For ailerons, I reinforced the root of the wing cutout in a similar fashion and then used fiberglassed balsa ailerons instead of the original foam ones. They tend to hold the torsion forces much more reliably.

@grahambaker6289 Год назад

the ailerons are wobling because of the gyro correcting and over correcting itself at a very fast speed i think

@mikhailjairnisbett441 Год назад

it's not because of load, it's the gyro overcompensation.

@stickmanblubbles4489 Год назад

A propeller in the nose would remove the need for a drop and still have aligned center of thrust and center of gravity. Also a wing high up on the fuselage or a strong dihedral wing angle could minimize wing strikes on landing and make the plane more stable in flight.

You should make detachable and reattachable wing attachments that are basically more wing and add turbo fans on the smaller end of those wings and a little parachute on the far end of the turbo fans so that when they detach, they open up. Detach the wing attachments before you burn.
