Model rocket with arduino payload

thingiverse

This is a video about a model rocket: https://youtu.be/xb2HH8IgW3w This rocket is designed to carry a payload. It's meant to work with a C6-5 engine, but feel free to try another if you'd like. This design was highly inspired by this model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1188258 The rocket has five main parts: * The fairing is the top part of the rocket and it's hollow inside so you can fit a small payload in there. * The transition connects to the fairing and does three things: closes the fairing, attaches the parachute, and links the fairing to the body of the rocket. There are two versions of this part - one with and one without an MPU6050 sensor. The regular version doesn't have a sensor, but I needed a special version for my specific payload (see below). * The parachute tube has the parachute inside it and there are holes in it so you can attach a string between it and the transition. * The engine tube is where the motor goes. It's got four fins to help stabilize the rocket as it flies. * The retention ring is just a small ring that screws onto the engine tube to keep the motor from moving around inside. You might not need the whole rocket, by the way - I only made it for simulation purposes. Sorry about my bad English - I'm French and we're known for struggling with this language.
