This is the best time to deploy, because the rocket has no vertical velocity and the stresses on the parachute are smallest at this point.
The first (smallest) parachute is ejected by the altimeter at the apogee (peak altitude) point in the trajectory. The reason is to limit the wind-drift of the rocket, keeping the rocket close to the launch pad. Just load in your favorite dual-deployment electronics, and this rocket is ready to reward you with a really outstanding flight.ĭual deployment is the term applied to a rocket that ejects two separate recovery devices at different times during the descent of the rocket.
When you are ready for something a little more complicated, the kit comes with an ebay as a standard feature. That basically makes this a rocket like you are used to when flying Estes-style model rockets. So it isn't going to be a leap in technology to go from a small rocket to high power when you get this vehicle.įor people that are going for a Level-1 certification, we recommend just removing the smaller parachute from the rocket and flying it using motor ejection only. The nice thing that you'll like about this rocket is that it uses traditional rocketry components that you are already very familiar with, like: heavy walled paper tubes, plywood fins, plastic nose cones.
Because of that, the Torrent is one of the most popular kits that people use for getting into high-power rocketry. It is simple and robust enough to use on an L-1 certification attempt, but can also be set up for dual-deployment. The MadCow Torrent is a versatile high-power rocket.
