allrocketspsl Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 No, the one I just posted in the video had a nozzle. 1Lb Nozzle with 550g of payload with a 3 second break. I made two more one with a nozzle and one without so we can see the difference side by side. what video i dont see one mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagabu Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I closed the two stage competition today, HillBilly and Wonderboy, please email me. Lets all get together and make these three rockets to make this challenge work! I will be working on mine this week with hopes that I will be able to launch them this weekend. -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan999ification Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 well,fired off a few test motors and headers[no winners here], trouble getting the three seconds but my boundaries are being pushed which is a good thing, also made some endburner tooling for 19mm rolled the tubes with alrockets methods and made 3 different motors one a two stage one standard bp and one with newspaper looking forward to pushing these when the wind dies off its like 60 mph, granulating the bp has also proved easierhow long we got?to make some more tubes and aquire sticks may take some time plus im out of charcoal . the chance to push on and learn from others is welcome. dan.

dagabu Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 well,fired off a few test motors and headers[no winners here], trouble getting the three seconds but my boundaries are being pushed which is a good thing, The three second timing is actually very easy to accomplish and while I am not going to divulge the method we use to time them, you should be thinking about ideas that are a little outside the box. Think, "How do I get fire to the header and still have a thick enough bulkhead?" and see what you come up with. One hint, I dont drill a hole through my bulkheads and I dont use clay in my bulkheads... -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagabu Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Nope! Straight regular BP. AND, the depth of the delay does not matter beyond the three second mark. -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'd just put an external time fuse on the shell, and time it to about 3.5 seconds so it gives the impression of a 3 second delay. Work smarter, not harder guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Even easier Mum! No extra fuse on the shell, the rocket lights the shell and there are no holes, drills or penetrations... -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagabu Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) I have nozzleless three pounders with the required shells going up late this weekend. I hope to kill the 3 second timing and claim all of the fame! If not, I will have fun just launching them. -dag Edited September 9, 2011 by dagabu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
