TwinJet to Rocket Propelled/Ever been done?
Ok, I'm posting some pictures of what I'm trying to do here, but I'm wondering if anyone else has attempted this as well. I'm taking a Twin Jet that will take off and land via hand launch like normal. Then, while in flight and triggered via RC I am going to ignite a perminenantly attached "G" sized ROCKET reload kit and see what happens.
The first photos, in white, are when I had a Hacker A20-20L motor connected to the rear with a 11x4.7 prop. The plane flew great, but not all that fast, so I switched to a20-6xl with 5x5 prop instead of the designed 2 480 brushed motors. When I had it there, the plane flew perfectly and FAST, but I was afraid that when igniting the rocket, it would either damage my motor or burn the prop off, so have moved it to the forward position ahead of the rocket. I'm now trying to balance it out to fly then work on the ignition system.
Let me know any input as I need help with the ignition system that will require 12volts and weight is a MAJOR issue.
