Fun idea. Crush up the motors and sprinkle the powder at the baggage claim carousel at the airport. Good luck returning home!!

You have to add shear pins at the lower joint too, the upper part has a big mass

To may adds

These videos are so helpful

I would love to see an unboxing and review of the new Estes launch rail.

I have painted several Saturn rockets in my life. By far the hardest rocket I have ever painted.

Nice way to show off that rocket. It looks great as you hold it!

I used to used an electric fence battery. About half the weight of a typical car battery and had a built in handle.

Hello, I have a question what electronics do i put in the rocket to launch in the air in 2nd stage?

Does the first stage have its own streamer recovery system?

I love how this channel still has the feel of a 1990's tv show XD love it

Ohh I want that V2 !!

we need mass scale

Hay man I'm new to this stuff and I don't know where to start like I don't want to spend no more then $150 plees reach out

Thanks, I'm trying to make cheap kits, I'm intending to use this in the future.

I guess I'd glue the fin side and put it on the blank paper, let it dry a bit, and then trace cut with the razor knife.

Timely information for me.

An all so important concept explained clearly. Perhaps also go over what happens when the CG is too far in front of the CP.

That Sky Metra is a nice looking two stage payloader. It reminds me a lot of a kit Estes produced a few decades ago called Hercules. It was an awesome performing rocket. Sadly it's gone now.

Very Buck Rogers.

V2s brother, looking good.

Lol..cool.

I live near an abandoned Nike installation. Neat!

Dang Tim, this is an old school video of yours. Gald i subscribed. Could use subs myself.

Great idea. Thanks

Very cool, very scale, at a meet it would stand out.

I have two very old tubes of B14’s. I don’t remember the exact data, but I believe they are B14-5’s? I could be wrong and I don’t have them nearby. I’m almost afraid to use them because they are so old. But if I recall correctly, I used them when launching a rocket with a payload. Estes used to sell a small lead weight to use if somehow all you wanted was a heavy payload. But for me, I used to build my own payloads consisting of electronics of various kinds. Typically it was nothing more than a small RF oscillator powered by a couple watch batteries, or maybe even a small lightbulb to see who could see it (LED’s were expensive!) and I would have friends at various distances away to provide reception reports. Fun times, but nowadays electronic packages abound with all kinds of miniature goodies!

What is the wire gage it has to be for mid power??

I sprinkle baby powder on both sides of the parachute to keep it from sticking to itself. For light rockets I also cut a 2" diameter hole in the center of the parachute to bring it down faster, and help prevent it from drifting away. I use a snap swivel to attach the parachute lines and shock cord to the nose cone, to help prevent tangling. For more powerful engines, lice a C, if a C6-5 is recommended, I use a C6-7. That lets the rocket fall a couple of seconds more before the parachute opens, again bringing it down faster.

I knew there was a joke

Rock and Roll 😊

Obviously, want one as one can never have too many rockets (built and unbuilt) perhaps a larger chute? First clip looked a like firm-ish touchdown😀

What altitude was apogee @?

Want one!

I'm looking forward to this one.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! 💸💸💸

Nice, the Nike is one of my favs.

Nice.

Actually, -0 booster motors do not have ejection charges. Just black powder.

What competition is this rocket intended for?

Would love to see more about your process of making the carbon airframes for these lightweight competition rockets. It's the complete opposite side of performance rocketry that I am usually involved in (high power minimum diameter stuff) but I'd imagine there are some neat composite tricks that we could learn from you folks doing the FAI/NAR style competition rockets. 3 grams for that whole airframe blew my mind.

Great video! Thank you!

Wouldn't G-10 fins be a better choice for a competition bird?
