V2 In the making

Post by danb »

just thought i would post up some pics of the start of my new project, its going to be a replica of a german V2 from the 1940's the rocket will have a mist jet motor with a 10mm nozzle, water capacity of 4L. there will be a side deployment parachute system not sure yet on a tomi timer or radio control to release for the parachute.

the V2 looks is a good looking rocket and using a mist jet would be a good way to simulate the smoke trail.

What type of drink comes in those brown colored bottles? There are no beverages other than beer that come in brown bottles where we live. The color doesn't look like it would make a drink appealing to buy.
