My 2nd rocket and 1st with parachute, I used the simple gravity NSA and did several tests with it (nose cone weight, interference between nose cone and parachute, packing ...) but could not find a robust setting.
My parachute deployment success rate was around 20%, so although it was a good experiment, I will not keep this system on my future rockets. On my next one I will try the tommy timer ..

Re: NSA Water Rocket
Hello Nuno,
Thanks for the post, it is good to see you slowly working your way up in the skills of water rocketry- that way you will not make the same mistake as me and try to much new experimentation at a time! Everything becomes destroyed!
Look forward to future attempts! We are trying to incorporate a flight computer into our Parachute Release sytem so we will see how it goes!

Hi Jamie,
thats the idea, this is just a very enjoyable hobby so I have no hurries.
Nice to know you are going to a flight computer, I hope someday also do that. Are you going for a arduino setup?
Thx

Re: NSA Water Rocket
Experimenting with flight electronics is a great way to go. There are so many useful things to learn that can be applied to water rockets. Nice to see more people getting their feet wet!nunopt wrote:Jamie5335 wrote:Hello Nuno,

Re: NSA Water Rocket
Best rocket range ever! Plus it has an endless supply of fuel.
