Hi. I'm Brian. I'm looking forward to looking around this forum. I'm glad that I have found some people to talk to about my favirite hobbie. I've been making water rockets for a while.

Here is a picture of me on the oval. It's cool apart from it not going strait.

Hi Brian and welcome to our little water rocket community. WHere are you from? Do you have any goals for your rockets or do you just do it for fun?

Hi Brian! I've seen plans online for altimeters but they look like a pretty advanced project unless you have a lot of electronics skills. If I were you I'd stick to one you can buy from a place like Adept or Perfectflite. They make them smaller and more durable than us mere mortals!

Hi Brian,

If you don't have a good recovery system then you're going to break a lot of altimeters! Be careful! And welcome!!!!

Hello Brian. Welcome to this water rocket forum. From the looks of things Water Rockets are very popular in Australia. There are many water rocket scientists from "Down Under" we have met on the web! Nice of you to join us!
