Peregrine: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:23, 2 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.

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: AeroPak minimum diameter thread-on retainer
Main recovery: head-end, Fruity Chutes 48" Iris Ultra (tentative; will try 48" Spherachutes Ultralight if that doesn't fit, although this will be a bit small; could also buy a 36" Iris Ultra HP Compact)
Apogee recovery: Spherachutes Apex drogue (tentative)
Using CTI Pro75 6G motor case with tailcone closure
Using Additive Aerospace fly-away rail guide
