Hi, ive built a 1/2 meter tall rocket, which is now ready for testing. If it works how i intend it to i will start to write it up as a project on my main website. Its body is made from card and the motor is a KNO3 + sucrose composition ~3cm dia. by ~18cm long. I should be interesting even if it doesnt work because it will in effect be just a big smoke bomb disguised as a rocket...  |

Launched the rocket today, and it worked reall well!!!  Took a bit of time getting it to ignite with a makeshift igniter but got it to go eventually. It flew about 50m in the air and straightened out to a horrizontal flight path before shooting towards the floor at a vast rate of nots! I was extemely happy with the launch and can't wait to test some new ones!! I will make a few more to see if i can improve its flight and duration, and then i will write it up and add it to the projets list. I will add a couple of pictures very soon |
