Hi From Utah!

Post by Chicken_Live »

I'm from Utah... Hi!

I have been doing water rockets off and on for maybe 3 years or something.
Currently I'm actually helping a rocket club here at school build, launch, and improve on hybrid rockets.
We build these out of PVC and 2L bottles. That is mainly why I am here. I need help with a few things that we have been trying to make. Mainly stabilization (make it go straight instead of an arc), multiple bottles put together, nose cones, and maybe even a recovery system.

Hello from Utah, I have played around with building rocket bodies from 2L. and powered them homemade solid fuel motors and found that they like to arc due to the heavy motors, but it can be done!!! Good luck and have fun!!! Here is a link to my video of one of them. :W
