Revision as of 20:45, 18 February 2024

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
