Dual deploy question
I'm a newbie when it comes to dual deploy, but I have a bird (Hyperloc 835) dual deploy ready with all the electronics, etc. I have 2 questions:
(1) I'm using the Aerotech hardware with an H268R motor (not too high, but high enough to test the dual system). Should I just include the delay in the motor build (with no bp charge) or include some kind of cap I need to include to prevent motor thrust up into the rocket resulting in a cato? (2) I am using shear pins. Two for the nosecone and 3 for the body section for the main. Though I have measured the appropriate amount of black power (about 1.5 grams each) for the respective volumes, should I add a bit more for shear pins? Thanks! (Having a hard time finding internet answers for all this...) |

If the delay is longer than your expected time to apogee, it's a good idea to use your motor eject as backup. If you need a longer delay, let me know. I'm a bit confused by the description of your shear pin setup, but that's irrellevant to the idea of ground testing - this is the best way to know your charges are the right volume. How do you have your pins set up for cardboard? What size shear pins are you using?

I have 2 shear pins (the tiny nylon screws that Tim sells) for the nosecone -- rogue chute. I have three of the same for the lower section for the main. I thought that since I'm using a dual deploy altimeter for the charges, I would not need to put the charge into the Aerotech motor build (except maybe the delay to plug the hole between the motor and the airframe?). Do I need to plug that Aerotech motor build with something else?

well, if I'm reading this right...your setup is nose cone, forward chute bay(with drogue), av bay, rear chute bay(main), motor and fins...right?
use the delay element to 'plug' the motor case or get a plugged forward closure(think aerotech still wants you to use the delay grain). rex |

Your setup is backwards from traditional. typically your drogue is in the lower section with the main under your cone - this makes it possible to use your motor as backup deployment. Your arrangement makes that impossible. Still curious what size pins your using and how you plan to cut them - cardboard alone will not.

Yes, it's backwards. Realized it too late. That said, I'm sure it's still workable (and have the altimeter wired accordingly). I was thinking that the delay should just be used as usual without the charge, of course. Just wanted to check. Thanks, guys!
