Tomy Timer Stager

Post by PTrockets »

Hello everyone,
Here's my new and unique tomy timer water rocket stage release mechanism.
Basically, the tomy timer holds an elastic that holds the stager brake. When the tomy timer releases the elastic, the brake (that is pulled by other rubber band) releases the Gardena launcher and, consecutively, the 2nd stage.
I hope you enjoyed!

No, because the booster stage is not ready yet.
I'm waiting for the summer to launch my water rockets :yes:
