New from Toney Alabama

Post by Going For Time »

Hello, my name is Rob. I have been researching and building Water Bottle Rockets (WBRs) for about 2 years now. I was introduced to WBRs when my company held a competition for the longest flight of a WBR at a company function. Since then I've been hooked. My WBRs are all based on no metal or electronics. I have yet to have a successful deployment of a parachute, but I hope that my newest build with air flaps work out. I have an idea that I would like to share with you all about a WBR engine that cause the rocket to spin when launched. It is made out of 3/4 inch PVC pipe, more on that later. I have enjoyed reading posts in this forum and I look forward to collaborating ideas and finding new ways of building WBRs with all of you.
