Rocket Logs iOS Open Testing

Rocket Logs iOS Open Testing

Hello!
If you are an iOS user, you can now download Apple's TestFlight app and use the above link to install a test version of the Rocket Logs app.

I am looking to get as many people testing as possible to ensure it's operating smoothly. The app is effectively in its "final form," so what I'm looking for here is bugs or crashes. So far, none have been reported, which is great to hear!...

A lot of folks have asked about this build since my dad and I started it a few years ago. It's still in Idaho and my dad has recently been cracking away at it. It's looking pretty awesome!

N1560 Update

Hey ya'll!
I'm part of a team based in Idaho that is flying an R motor at BALLS this year and still don't have all materials in hand for my N1560 project. So, while I still plan to start building it soon, it will not fly at BALLS this year.

Florescent Paints Are Always...fun

Florescent Paints Are Always...fun

Yellow fin is going to have to look the way it looks and we'll try to take it easier on the remaining orange coats. Florescents are really prone to crackling like this, and the time constraints are what they are! It'll get repainted eventually. At least it'll have color!

Fins Are Done

Fins Are Done

All Tip to Tip is on, and we coated it with West System laminating epoxy filled with 410 filler for sanding and smoothing today. Yesterday I painted the upper tube and nosecone and the plan is to paint the whole fin can white today, ground test tomorrow, and paint the fins from there. We're getting close!

Fun Little Project

Fun Little Project

Landlord of the new place gave me the okay to put shelving up in the garage. These modular closet shelves are perfect for hanging rockets. Interlocking fins and airframes keeps them from rolling away and 16" centers make for a very usable 32" split between the brackets.

10/10 would recommend.

What advice would you give to someone attending their first big launch?

Thank you for your patience!

The move, as expected, took a lot of annoying little turns, but we're successfully in. We're still setting up the house, but I'm hoping to start working on the N1560 rocket by the end of next week.

That project will be documented exclusively on Patreon, YouTube Members posts, and on the Rocket Vlogs Discord supporter section until AFTER the rocket's flight. Of course, the big Nike ...
