guntoteninfadel Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) That was cool! Can't wait to try whistle! Though I have a ways to go..... I hope this video is not sideways but if it is forgive me . My timing was WAY off as the shell broke late(break wasnt great either but that was expected) which made the reports late but close examination does show all 15 reports going off(though most were on the ground ). This was for my kids 15th birthday ergo the 15 salutes. There was "one to grow on" but camera person quit filming before it went off. No making fun of my rockets........ they make me happy . And yes I do see the truck precariously close to where the reports landed but be aware "bessie" is fully insured! Just a video, not an entry. Those will be next week.

guntoteninfadel Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) First decent break! Stars were too big and break was too small but for 2" shells I was happy considering my previous attempts. OK SO its sideways..... again, I promise to get a new videographer next time IMG_05181.MOV Edited October 29, 2011 by guntoteninfadel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Just had a really nice sucess with multibreak headers! 1lb Extreme Performance sali whistle rocket with a 4" can shell.I used 7 timed salute inserts ( 10g Shimizu Thunder + 10% Ti) and a 30g B-Shot with good old 70/30+Ti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax7WEvA3NL8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Flight test of the 12.7mm id x 85mm motor from Dag`s thread. (Building from scratch; 7/16" ID bottle rockets). The header was just 1g of loose bp with 25% ti-sponge dumped in above the delay for a visual on the height. I`ll use a slower burning delay next time around as it didnt appear to make it to apogee before the header burst.. Small motor flight test The 3/4" id version used the same fuel (75/15/10), more delay and had an 80g dump header attached, the total weight was 207g. I never doubted it would fly. 3/4" version Edited November 14, 2011 by Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Nice job Col!! Back up a little with the camera so we can see the whole flight, gotta love the WHOOSH! Here are few of mine, some older ones and two from last month. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7CXKUGBM6o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ihsskxx5f0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRXxzukCzE4 -dag Edited November 19, 2011 by dagabu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Nice rockets. The last one was my favourite of the bunch but they`re all top notch. I`ll make a note of standing further away in future, it might help me keep the camera trained on the rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketTony Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Not sure if you want this but here it is, Bp 75/15/10 ball milled and processed with water screened dried and pressed at 5250 lbs. its about the size of an Estes e-9 with delay and ejection charge. It took me a long time to perfect it, but alas here it is. Thanks for viewing. All of the equipment is hand made, the flight box, the flight stand, igniter, rocket, and motor, mostly everything. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=CZ7U971_o4I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
