cplmac Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yeah, brainfart. Forgot the clay, so the nozzle wound up being clay. Still managed to get about 50' off the ground before it ran out of delay. This mix is 5%Ferro-Ti in a 75/15/10 meal. Enjoy! http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos2537/6/10/91/93/50/0/50939110611_0_ALB.jpg http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos2537/6/10/91/93/70/0/70939110611_0_ALB.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemguy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wow, that was a LOUD report, what was it? Didn't go very high though, but at least you could here the report well. Ok, I know you are using BP this time . What type of charcoal do you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplmac Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hahaha, I used airfloat in my meal powder, but I'm gonna mix it up with 80 mesh next time so I can get some tail going. The report was loud for two reasons, it's my new GOOD flash, and it only got about 50' off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styropyro Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Man the report being so loud 50 feet in the air shows how high his other rockets go. From 50 feet there is a huge boom, but from how far his other rockets go it sounds like a big pop. Nice rockets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizeau Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Really, a very good performance! You try it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplmac Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'll be sending up at least one more two stage this weekend and probably a couple of others. I'm gonna make my next two stage rocket with the first stage whistle and the second stage BP, should keep the height down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Bass` Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Read the third post. I was meaning the actual type of charcoal - it looked very similar to the pine tails I've been getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 It's commercial airfloat, mixed hardwood. Oak and maple primarily I would suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplmac Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Indeed Mumbles is correct, I think. The bag just said airfloat, but all the other charcoal I have bought has been hardwood. I would love to get some softwood charcoal in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
