What is a model rocket?
The model rocket is a small, driven vessel that can be built of lightweight materials such as wood, plastic or cardboard. The model missile is usually designed in a similar way to larger missiles. Fandoists can build model missiles and drain them to lower altitudes and, after retreating on the ground, restore light crafts. Specially designed one use engines are inserted into missiles to drive them to the sky and the parachute is usually attached to the inside of each rocket; It is deployed as soon as the rocket reaches its top altitude.
To start the model rocket, a starter pad is required. The rocket is attached to a flexible rod that reaches vertically from the metal base. The guide tube connected to the outside of the rocket allows it to be released directly from the vertical rod and into the air. The process of starting the model rocket starts with the correct packaging of the internal components of the rocket: the engine is inserted into a special cradle at the bottom of the rocket and the launch is loaded from the top of the rocket to createThe pressure that eventually puts on the parachute. The parachute is loaded at the top of the rocket and the nasal cone is inserted into the upper part of the body.
The model rocket engine must be ignited, so a specially designed electric match to the bottom of the engine is loaded before starting. This match has metal leads to which metal clamps can be attached. Metal clamps are connected to a long wire that ends in the start -up control unit; This unit usually has three functions: lock, activation light and start button. The lock must be inserted into the control unit in order to start. Once inserted, the button may be compressed. The light is activated if the electric current has successfully passed through the wire and the rocket runs.
once Rocket will take a flight, reaching some altitudes based on the size of the rocket engine and the overall design of the model missile. Before deploying some recovery method, often a parachute that allows a rocket fineIt is gently back down on the ground, reaching the top altitude. This part of the recovery process can be problematic because the parachutes tend to catch in trees, electric lines and other obstacles.
