My first 3lb BP rockets


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Here is my first ever 3lb coreburner BP rocket.

 

Details: Rammed granulated BP with no nozzle, used a clay bulkhead with a 3g flash header.

 

 

 

I used a 36" x 3/8" square dowel as the rocket stick

 

Let me know what you think

Nozzleless, and I would like to thank you Caleb for my success. The tooling is phenomenal and he helped a ton with the questions I had about construction.

Congratulations.

 

I use a nozzled design and confess, even though I've built everything from bottle rockets (1/4" bore) up to 6 lb size, 3 lb is my favorite large size.

 

Keep up the research and development. That's where the greatest fun lays :D.

Edit: I forgot to mention, for rockets with larger or heavier payloads, I prefer longer sticks for straighter flights. Yours did good likely because of the light payload. For what it's worth...
