Rocket competition submission


al93535

Recommended Posts

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 grams

1/8" nozzle

4 inches long

5/8" 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)

Very nice rocket, what do you launch you rockets from? I’ve used a copper pipe but it oxidizes.

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?

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.
