This is our latest rocker.
With a volume of 8 Liter. And pressure tested at 12 bar of 175 psi.
Last sunday we wanted to launch it at a safe pressure. Just for a test flight at 8 bar.
But there was a problem. We set the tommy timers for our dual deploy system if it was a launch for 12 bar. But the rocket didn't go that high on 8 bar as it should go on 12 bar. So the apogee came quicker then the parachutes came out. So the rocket was on his way down when the parachutes came out. But the parachutelines snapt
Everything did work. Both parachutes came out.. but they came out a bit to late..
But the rocket is still in tact and we are comming back with some greather hights with this rocket! the rocket did get to 391'. We can get higher
See the movie:
