RC ROCKET PLANE

RC ROCKET PLANEIn 1980, the sub-Commission on the rocket modeling of the FAI decided to introduce a new class of raketoplana S8E with a maximum mass up to 300 g engine with a total impulse of 40 n*S. Model of this class, created by Bulgarian athletes participated in the competitions and showed good results. Having the necessary materials, it is easy to make in the flying circle. The engine of rocket with a total impulse of 40 n*works for 10 s. To control the model can be used in compact radio equipment “Craft” or homemade equipment, the mass of which does not exceed 80 g. Usually its the power supply applies a battery capacity of 0.1 Ah and a voltage of 4.8 V.

In addition, they can be more subtle and light. In the end, will reduce transport and construction costs.
