[amsat-bb] About the P5A/P3E engine

["William Leijenaar" <pe1rah@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi AMSATs,

I am still travelling and I've been of the internet for about a week.
I looked up at the AMSAT-BB and I seen the discussion about the failure (?) 
of the AO40 engines. In my opinion it is an hobby and all we do is 
experimental !!!
When it is no hobby then we better can use the commercial cell-phones...

Then I think it would be better to get some help from rocket amateurs or 
engeneers that are experienced with rockets. I don't know the whole story 
about the Ao40 engines, but I think the Ao40 team was very well trained in 
electronics, but maybe less with rocket engines. Many parts are from ASTRIUM 
company I've heared, but like in the electronical world, you can have the 
most high-tech components but you still have to know how to install/use 
them.

Maybe it would be interresting to have some cooperation with rocket 
amateurs, or even with well trained rocket design engeneers. I believe they 
really would like to help, and there must be also real expert rocket 
amateurs, like electronical experts .-)
