my first scratch built rocket. Long Flat Daddy

So my flat Big Daddy rocket lawn darted last weekend. I was going to fix it, but I messed up a bit. I had ordered some 3 inch body tube and a bunch of balsa plywood and figured I could scratch rebuild the Big Daddy since I had the nose cone.

Cut out my fins and engine mount rings. The tubes were 34 inches long and I just went with it.

Used a jig saw, bench grinder, and dremel to get them nice. Sanded them down with a nice airfoil profile.

Fins go through the body tube and I epoxy attached to the motor tube with fillets all around. It will launch with 29MM reloadable engines. First flight looks to be 1500 feet. Huge launch this Sat out near Beatrice. Got the FAA clearance for 17,000 feet for 5 hours. It is going to be awesome.

Sketched up the rocket in Open Rocket software and was informed that I would need to put a stuffer tube in so the ejection charge will work correctly. I had made extra centering rings and had the tube so it was easy. Took 2 tubes of epoxy to build. Payload section is 8 inches. It is going to be awesome.

A 29MM motor retention bit has been JB weld’ed onto her. Makes switching out the reloads much easier and I do not need any motor clips or motor blocks. I can go with longer and more powerful motor cases in the future since the motor now connects to the end of the tube. Plywood motor mount construction means this is going to be strong as heck.

    analizador de vibraciones https://vibromera.es/analizador-de-vibraciones/ Sistemas de balanceo: clave para el desempeno fluido y confiable de las maquinas En el entorno de la ingenieria actual donde la productividad y la fiabilidad del equipo son de relevancia critica los equipos de balanceo desempenan un funcion esencial. Estos dispositivos especializados estan creados con el fin de equilibrar y estabilizar partes rotativas ya sea en maquinaria industrial vehiculos de transporte o incluso en equipos domesticos. Para los especialistas en maquinaria y los ingenieros trabajar con sistemas de balanceo es indispensable para asegurar el rendimiento estable y confiable de cualquier sistema rotativo. Gracias a estas innovaciones en equilibrado es posible disminuir de manera notable las vibraciones el ruido y la presion en los rodamientos prolongando la vida util de componentes costosos. Igualmente relevante es el impacto que tienen los equipos de balanceo en la gestion del servicio. El mantenimiento especializado y el cuidado preventivo utilizando estos sistemas garantizan soluciones confiables mejorando la confianza del cliente. Para los duenos de negocios la implementacion en estaciones de balanceo y sensores puede ser decisiva para elevar la capacidad y resultados de sus equipos. Esto es especialmente relevante para los administradores de negocios medianos donde toda mejora es significativa. Ademas los equipos de balanceo tienen una gran utilidad en el sector del monitoreo tecnico. Sirven para identificar defectos previniendo danos financieros y averias graves. Mas aun los resultados extraidos de estos sistemas sirven para perfeccionar flujos de trabajo. Las areas de aplicacion de los equipos de balanceo cubren un amplio espectro desde la produccion de vehiculos ligeros hasta el control del medioambiente. No importa si se trata de fabricas de gran escala o pequenos talleres caseros los equipos de balanceo son esenciales para asegurar un funcionamiento eficiente y sin interrupciones.
