SS2S DSS mini yoyo despin test

Early test of the yoyo used to despin the rocket.
This model is 1/40 of the real rocket (about the inertia), we used 2 tethers of 28cm and 2 releasable mass of 4g coupled to the tethers.
As we can see, when the mass are released the model stop its spin immediatly and the tethers are ejected from the model, otherwise, the model would have stopped and start to spin again.
