Peregrine

Peregrine is built from a Wildman Mach 3 kit (75mm minimum diameter) and am planning for a launch at Airfest 2024. The flight will be on an AeroTech M685 motor and should exceed 30,000 feet AGL (preliminary simulations are showing 34k-35k). Construction beginning February 2024.

• Primary altimeter: Altus Metrum TeleMega with a single 850mAh battery for electronics and pyro
• Backup altimeter: Altus Metrum EasyMini with a single 850mAh battery for electronics and pyro
• Camera: RunCam 5 Orange, inside the av-bay looking out horizontally
• Motor retention: Aero Pack minimum diameter thread-on retainer
• Main recovery: head-end, Fruity Chutes 48" Iris Ultra (likely won't fit; will probably end up buying a 36" Iris Ultra HP Compact)
• Apogee recovery: Spherachutes Apex drogue (tentative)
• Using CTI Pro75 6G motor case with tailcone closure (discovered CTI tailcone will not fit with AT nozzle 😭)
• Using Additive Aerospace fly-away rail guide
• Planning tip-to-tip fin reinforcement (still thinking but leaning towards fiberglass rather than carbon fiber)

Completed Tasks:

• Preliminary OpenRocket and RasAero sims
• Preliminary fin flutter calculations
• Motor retainer bonded into airframe
• Fin jig printed
• First fin tacked on
