I agree, the Canard du Bois is very nice. Clean, homey, good food and friendly conversation. Only reason I'm camping is I've got a considerable investment in...
Will, As far as my personal observations go, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the rocket, but more to do with stillness of the air. I've seen all kinds...

Good points Bill. I have been trying to tune my "Big Brute" to backslide... the timing of the ejection charge, at apogee, as close to 0 forward airspeed is...
A good friend, Peter Alway, did a R&D report on what it takes to make a rocket backslide. Everyone should make an example of his backslider... you'll be...
I had a long rocket back slide just because it was so long. The streamer also helped it along. It seems that the longer the rocket, the better it backslides. ...
Actually, I found the same phenomenon in around 1972, when I was flying altitude competitions with tube-fin models. I had a shock cord separation one day, and...
Hi I am constructing a three pad launch controller. I want to include LED test lamps, What maximum amount of power (watts = V x A) before an aerotech, CTI, or...
... LED test ... aerotech, CTI, ... 20ma for the LEDs should be fine. The CTI electric matches require about half an amp to fire, and the others MUCH more. ...
WOW - What a day ! I was there just for the Saturday - which turned out to be a pretty good day for flying. We saw an air launch of an "I xxx" (can't...
I've used a Perfect Flite altimeter for 4 dual deployment flights so far. It seems that the apogee/drogue charge was 2 seconds too late on every flight. The...

Does anyone have a listing of where and when High Power Launches are conducted in this general area - say within 500 Km. ? William Janssen Communications...
... That was someone else. You have to get 100% on the (current) Transport test to pass. Greg passed his test 4 years ago (at age 12!). L3 at less than 2...
I do. And I attend most of them. Talk to ya Sunday. Glenn ... From: ottawa-rocketry@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ottawa-rocketry@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of...
I have been looking into some dual deployment techniques and it looks more complicated than I thought. I have seen timer circuits, altimeter triggering,...
... A method that I developed several years ago uses a "Burrito" for the main parachute. The Burrito is a piece of nomex/kevlar cloth wrapped around the main, ...
... I think most dual deployments involve two separations. The first being the payload section to deploy the drogue, and the second to eject the NC to deploy...
Here's a nother method for bigger rockets: 1) Take some pvc pipe and an appropriate unthreaded (no threads) end cap 2) Drill some holes to allow 2 shear pins...
I am bringing my latest project to the launch on Sunday and I need to make sure my 1.5" motor holding tube will allow a 38mm casing. Can someone bring their...
Wow - this stuff really works nicely with fiberglass cloth. My first attempt at making fiberglass fillets on the fins worked real smooth. The fins are 1/8"...
... This is a L2 or above? 1/8" ply fins with that fin size and power level should be reinforced. (In my opinion! ;-) My first L3 attempt on fins like that...

William, The simple answer to your simple question is: yes, there is a most common way to do dual deployment. In my opinion, it is not the best way to do it....
