      Could you have the actual straps imbedded into the parachute deployment motor so when the motor burned out the strap will fall away and the. The parachute be wecged behind action man (I prefer clide) so when he is released the parachute is deployed automatically without the need for moving parts just a thought I did something like that in fireworks night to launch a second fierworck from the 1st and it worked without fail just an idea but pleas conceder

      you could make a custom pcb (obviously with a sponsorship from pcb way) and all of the pins for the flight controllers, esc, batteries,etc could nicely slip out of the pcb that has connectors for the cables to the motors and servos/control surfaces and they would all be nicely packaged together and the parachuted down to safety.

    great vid! can’t wait to see the next! as far as ejection seats, i was the division officer for the AME/PR aircrew school for the US Navy. the Martin Baker ejection seat is an extremely technical and capable recovery system, with over 3000 parts, and a very tight operating envelope. successful ejections with the aircraft inverted at 100’ above the ground are possible. the loyalty, responsibility, dedication, traceability and professionalism of the AME/PR community is exceptional. actual ejections result in an instant and often life long bond between the pilot and aircrew who worked on their “seat”. aircrew will refer to an actual ejection event as “their ejection”, taking rightful ownership for having a direct role in saving the life of the pilot. there is even an “ejection tie club” which recognizes each successful ejection event. more than 6000 have been recorded since the seats creation back in 1957. each ejection event is studied and scrutinized by the community in an effort to improve and review possible upgrades/improvements. cheers!

I would like to throw in my 2 cents worth and say that it is great that you got it to work with 4 1/2 A engines, I think back to Albert Einstein who said "Simplify, simplify, simplify'." I would like to suggest to you to see if there was some way to use 1 rocket engine and have deployable fins to keep the "pilot" stable during ejection. Maybe some weight at the bottom to dampen rotational movements. Keep up the good work.

  • @steveng669
    @steveng669 Před 3 lety

    It is immensely easy to remove an ejection charge from an Estes motor. You won't have to worry about mitigating unwanted pyrotechnics. (Outside,) simply use a piece of dense pointy plastic and scrape out the clay cap and ejection charge and smoke compound. The engine propellant is densely packed in the casing and you will not remove any unintentionally. You can then add a 1/8 inch cap to the back of the casing using 5min epoxy to maintain compression once the charge is removed. Bonus, you can save the black powder from the extracted charge for other projects such as flash-in-the-pan multi-engine ignition.

  • @ukrainianfalcons19

    By the way, it is possible to make a two-cascade rescue system like in the KT-1M 9 (although there are three) by simply using the waiting, as I do in my chair, or vice versa "manual" entry, that is, after the chair leaves the aircraft, and the introduction of a stabilizing parachute, using a servo machine to unbuckle the pilot's harness and fix the first parachute, which, after detaching from the chair, being attached to the main parachute, will pull it out and free the pilot, but it should be borne in mind that the weight of the chair will then increase significantly with the use of a service, battery, paddle.

    You might be able to pipe the parachute charge from a larger rocket if it was a craft that you want the seat to always end up outside the craft. like with the gps if you couldn’t ensure a smooth enough landing or expensive parts like a go pro so the plane can be landed without worry of breaking anything expensive. Idk I’m sure someone can find a use but it seems like it would have almost the perfect amount of gas to expel the load from the aircraft.

    You could try putting the rocket motors into tubes with a flammable thread across the top and fitted with a deflector to direct the ejection charge away from the arms. When the thread burns it could release the action man from the seat restraints when he could then be ejected by a spring or some compressed foam.

    A ballistic recovery system would be cool too, and maybe even be a bit easier that an ejection seat.
    Mike Patey did one in his real aircraft so you can see how it works exactly in his videos.

    I enjoyed watching this. My main question .....I guess Action man had no say in continuing the flight tests ?

    Few important things, your model seem to be missing:
    1. Real ejection seats often have a telescopic guiding rail, which helps to direct the seat during the active phase of ejection.
    2. The parachute is usually attached to the pilot, but stored in the seat (quite often - inside the seat headrest). After about 1,5-2 seconds the seat belts are detached by pyro-bolts, the pilot falls out of the seat and parachute is opened automatically by being pulled out by the seat, falling away. This could be modeled by the model rocket motor parachute charge and it's delay, which would initiate the seat detachment.
    3. The flight of the seat would, probably, be more stable, if the rockets were attached above the seat CG.

      Number 3. No. That's even got a name it's called the rocket fallacy.

    There seems to be room for the motors to be clustered under the seat as in full-scale MB seats. was there a reason for mounting the motors on each side of the seat?
