Hello Claus!

I've seen many pictures of your custom spliced rocket bodies before. I don't think I have ever seen a description of the method used, or seen pictures of the components by themselves.

I've always assumed that these screw connectors are fabricated using specialised workshop tools. Is that the case?

Greetings, Steve.
I would also like to learn more about the screw connector method. If this is something that can be done without special tools then I would be REALLY interested in it!

Hello Steve!

It is correct!

I developed and also even in my workshop manufactured the connection parts. I did not publish a building specification yet. Many waterrocketeers in Europe use my parts, in order to build rocket bodies.
