8L Mist jet test launch

Post by danb »

yesterday the BWR crew went to our new launch site to test our newest 8l mist jet rocket, it launched perfect just had problems with parachutes and nosecone deployment!!! also tested water against water and foam mix with the mist jet motor and water seemed to work the best i dont think il try foam in it again, also took the V2 out for its last flights as the bottles are getting pretty damaged all in all a fun afternoon

Make sure there are no sharp edges on the rocket too because they can slice your chute line like a hot knife through butter!
