thechewy Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 when building a rocket i want to use a header.whats easiest header type to use? I can make my rocket go fast/slow/high or low but with a star with loose bp on the top plug,makes it go crooked.. I tried making a tiny hole thrue the top plug,packed some meal powder into it and the put my star and loose bp in the tube.tape a few pieces of papet on the top of tht to make it pop. It all works great just not sraight when i try anything else..idk how to stablize it correctly with bag headers
deadman Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Easiest header is probably a bag header. Check out nater's post in this thread..... http://www.amateurpyro.com/forums/topic/7470-bottle-rocket-header/ Edited August 17, 2012 by deadman
Col Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 A longer stick or dual sticks will help keep it straight.
thechewy Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 you know... The sad paaaart is now tht i seen that post. I noticed i already should've thought of that! I seen it hen i joined the site and completely forgot about it lol:) thank you! Btw i also did that dual stick thing like a couple of hours ago just for a test,it flew high as hell an straight!!! It was a 3/4 id tube like 3 1/2 long,i used the extra half inch to fill with loose bp and a single star. Worked like a dream. Great info
