VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Hi guys, here is my attempt of tom's rocket. I'm quite happy with it. The delay could be a bit longer. And the break a little harder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-mhio895fM Greets VP 1
Bobosan Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Looked fine to me. Nice job. You might lose symmetry with a harder break.
leedrill Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) absolutely beautiful VP better every damn rocket do you have any build pics from this one Edited January 13, 2014 by leedrill
a_bab Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Also specs: Motor ID/spindle specs/fuel/How much Win39J delay.Stars compo/large stars diam (18mm?). Pics.Breaking charge/carrier.Spiking specs.Everything I may have missed Now, let me tell you - IF I saw the rocket flight alone without the prefire movie I would have sworn it was a TR rocket.In fact, I believe somehow you simply stuck a TR break to your real rocket Now, the delay *coul* have been a bit longer but not much (maybe another extra second). I personally prefer to have the shell break before the rocket starts to arch (at apogee) so it was good for me as it was.The break was good. The simetry was PERFECT so no need to have it stronger then that. It was probably the loundness you are looking for? It sounded just like TR's. (he only uses BP for breaking IIRC). I cannot see any fault in your rocket display. A 10 out of 10 rocket really.The only fault IMO is you use commercial QM but that's more of a personal taste. Good job ! For the time being you are here what Gman is on PF. Actually more. Edited January 13, 2014 by a_bab
Mumbles Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 The only difference I could tell is the spiking. Tom has a peculiar offset spiking pattern/style. Nice work.
ivars21 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Wow, that's an amazing break!!! Well done indeed.
dan999ification Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Beautiful vp. I'd been meaning to do one of these myself in red.
schroedinger Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Hey really amazing rocket. I think everyone would be amazed to see some pictures of your building steps
Zmuro Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 This rocket was amaizing. If you could share more about this shell and stars I would really apreciate it. The blue stars were very deep, can you shere the formula? It sounded just like TR's. (he only uses BP for breaking IIRC).I watched the whole movie about TR rockets (uploaded by displayFireworks), where Tom stated that he uses from 0-6g of FP and straight Goex in shells, because he's shells have quite small canulle.
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 thank you guys. Tom used for this heading 4FA and 2g Flash (7/3).( i did a bit different ) Pictures of the construction of the shell I have not done, sorry. The next time I'll remember that. @ Mumbles Yes I know the method of tom as he spiked his shells. But I can not do with my because I spike my shells after I stuck them on the motor.... And thank you for the kind words
a_bab Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Can you at least let us know what star formulas and the star diam. you used? Hmmm... interesting approach - spiking the shell with the engine attached.
Peret Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Tom R in person praised this rocket over on Fireworking.com.
VikingPyrotechnics Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Yes he is there... But he don´t posting there. this was the first time he ever posted something on a forum 1
leedrill Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 i would be very very happy with that VP well done praise from the master
burningRNX Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Whoop, I should read more in the rocket section , what a beauty.
WonderBoy Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Nice rocket VP! Only critique I have is that the delay in the rocket was a bit too bright for my taste. Your stuff is great, thanks for posting all of it! WB
