al93535 Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Ok here is my first submission, with more to come. This is a 6 ounce bp end burning rocket with my variation of ruby red stars. Stats:engine: 41 grams1/8" nozzle 4 inches long5/8" ID Header :83 grams 2" cylinder header fused with visquick with no other delay The stick was 32".. No attempt to balance this rocket was made. I learned is is not needed. In the video the rocket heads into the wind, its not from the balance on the stick See my test video for that. Total rocket weight 136.4 grams (with a 12.4 gram 1/4" diameter round stick) Pre firing picture: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/al93535/rocket58.jpg Video: http://www.apcforum.net/files/6OZrubyred.wmv
rocket Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Very nice rocket, what do you launch you rockets from? I’ve used a copper pipe but it oxidizes.
al93535 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Question!! Are we ONLY submitting descriptions, pics, and video's in competition threads? I mean no reply's except for submissions and then discussion in the appropriate thread? I will post this in the rocket thread as well for discussion there. With Rav's shell submission there was lots of discussion and replys. It seems to make sense to keep only submissions in the competition threads. And to discuss the submissions in appropriate threads. Just My opinion, it will be easier, cleaner, and just better I think. What do you guys think?
realfirewurx Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Superb rocket !!ilove the take off sound one of the best rockets ive seen on here.
Mumbles Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Doesn't really matter to me, as long as all the relevant stuff is in the first post, there really is no harm. I would say probably put it in the BP rocket thread too. In case anything interesting or important comes up, it will make it easier to find later.
