guntoteninfadel Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hey guys, been lurking here mostly reading reading reading and reading some more. The GREAT news is 7 rockets launched 3 day and 4 night all with great success and no CATO. Dag I already know that no video=no good. Got that covered just have to figure how to get it from phone to computer to forum. The first video is with a nozzle and the second is without. First rocket with nozzle as I was terrified of it CATOing. Really want to thank APC for all the great info. Can definitly say I'm hooked! Now with rockets working going to work on a header. Many thanks again Gun IMG_0280.MOV IMG_0283.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballmill Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Very nice rockets. I like the sound of the first and the nice tail on the second. Details of propellants you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntoteninfadel Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks ballmill! I just used the 75/15/10 formula that I found on here. The chems all came from skylighter and was ball milled for 2-3 hours. My tooling came from skylighter as well. I did experience my first CATO last night and it was IMPRESSIVE! My first rocket went off without a hitch, had a weak break and the stars burned a long long time (very pretty!). The second went boom on the launcher......... have no idea.

shagaKahn Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 With that 75/15/10 formula I'm surprised you didn't get more CATOs. Only CATOs I've experienced (knock wood) have been with hot forumulae like that--particularly after they're ball-milled. Since I reverted to 60/30/10, no more CATOs (again knock wood).
