Hallo Rocketeers!

A possible variant to refuelling of water rockets is operational. I was it suffering to always put my Roc `to s on `s cross in order to fill in H2O. I use one doubles working pump added and can the rocket in initial position now refuel. A hose end is put into the water the available, the other end by connectors into the clutch for the air refueling rests. A stroke of the pump carries 0.7 litres of H2O by the inflating tube from downside into the rocket. The inserted check valve in the connector prevents a running out of the water when unlocking the hose. Then the air hose comes into the same clutch, fills and lift off!

Regards Batkiter

There you go and bring up this old topic and I see the photos of that launcher and I get jealous again! I wish I could make something that sophisticated!

Hi Batkiter! I was looking at the pictures again and noticed that you use welded aluminum for your launcher struts. I am very impressed with your welds! I have tried to weld aluminum before and I have ruined a lot of stock and never got the skill mastered. I just wanted to let you know that I am really impressed with your welding. Is there anything you cannot do?
