Excellent videos again Pitan. It's amazing to see how the water rockets behave under G forces. I noticed there were quite a few two stage rockets as well. What...
A very professional looking launcher you have there Ed. Well Done! I like the way you made the adjustable components with the T-Track. We found having...
Thanks for the comments on my new launcher everyone. I am really excited to see how it will hold up over time. I have already noticed some design changes...

Indeed the helicopter recovery system you've got is very nice. I found it inspiring. A few years ago I attempted to do that style of recovery and found that...

... Glad you enjoyed it! I had very early on thought to figure out some kind of blade system recovery. There's an old website that had blades at the other...
Pitan still have a lot more about high speed water rocket particular with at 600 fps and closer look. I think he will post more sometime (now he is very busy...
Absolutely amazing footage, thanks for sharing! It looks like a great competition too. One of the videos shows how important it is to keep the sustainer well ...
If the mast breaks, can I have a section? Its a monster of a boat, much bigger than the previous team's boat. I didn't see any sail area dimension. I bet...

While pawing through the box where I store the r/c txmitter I found I'd sequestered two mini servos. One, an HTS55 was labled to cost $14. It needed a task so...
I lied. Was a HiTek HS55 that I rendered. But I did also take time to trial it using the MAD. I got a most un-satisfied motion when I saw the servo arm only...
Hey guys, just wanted to report in on our launch day today with H1 our new 2 bottle wrocket. We had some success and some failure. The success was that H1 flew...
Fascinating. I had been thinking about trying a MAD some time. Right now, I'm focusing on making my rockets go up, but following various developments in...
Hi everyone, After a lengthy construction with a few delays (mainly the birth of son #3) we have finally completed our first multi bottle rocket, MasHay-1. We...
Hi DL, Interesting read about your experiments with the altimeter and driving the servo directly. Did you try the servo under load? In terms of it activating...
... Hi George A couple winters back I put together a deploy that used a similar servo, but is controlled by a small r/c receiver. It was built to fit inside a...
Mat, It looks very nice, very clean looking .. good job with the nosecone. Can you tell me a bit more about the launch detect. Does the plastic just fall away...
Hi Todd, George's flight computer simply requires a switch to create a circuit for the launch detect. I had thought about somehow using a microswitch and then...
Hi Mat, Congratulations on the birth of future rocketeer #3. :) Your rocket looks really well made Mat, I look forward to hearing the launch report from the...
... Thanks George, The boys have already asked if we could strap him to a wrocket but were dissapointed when Cliffords sim said he would only reach 2.39m :). ...
... George, thanks for the pics and the explanation, thats a clever idea. I have read through your notes on your flight computer which is very impressive and I...
