87SupraT 0 #1 January 7, 2006 I got bored waiting for my next semester to start. I warn you ahead of time, I was pressed for materials, so creativity took over. Materials: Pop Rivets Paper Magnet Rocket Recovery Parachute (Main) $10 Wal-Mart Car for Electronics Duct Tape Postal Box Trash Bag and Nylon String (Pilot Chute) Here are the pictures of it: http://mkiiiperformance.net/fun/fun.html Here is the video: http://mkiiiperformance.net/videos/parachutedrop.wmv The first drop in the video is actually the 3rd, the first two the electronics failed, seemed to get out of range. The first drop in the video, was just the pilot chute folded and thrown with the contraption, it seemed to stick on the top of the box and opened about a foot off the ground. The second drop was RC'd, my friend signaled it just as it left my hands in hope to be in range. Dale~Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
