Did you have to build a special chamber or just put the glow sticks in
with the chute?

I launched one at Roctober 2009 and fall Rocstock 2009.  It was a  had a
pumpkin head and a strobe on the top.  This one had over 300 glow sticks
in it.   In Roctober 2010 my Cub Scout pack (with some help) did a group
built of an upscale turbo tooboh that dropped 250 light sticks.

Does anyone know who built the rocket that ejects the glow sticks.  The
rocket that was flown at LDRS 29 and at Roctober last year which ejected
glow sticks for the kids to retrieve?

 

Or, how the ejection of the glow sticks worked?

Me too, had one from day one, It broke, sent it back and never saw it
again, been over 6 years now, lots of "oh yes we are sending you one"
but nothing ever came of it.

I am using an RDAS now, had no problems, but would have likes to see how
the control was?

I've had a control since the month it came out... but somehow it was DOA
and I just never got it fixed. That was like 5 years ago or so..

If you have a flight computer you need no addtional electronics.  As
an example Control has 4 chanels, you can use two for dual deploy, one
for airstarts and the last for 'chute release with no addtional
systems.
