Day 4 Water Rocket Test

Post by jerm »

Hi Everyone,

This is my first video post and this was just my 4th launch day. This was the first day with no issues.
The rocket is made from 1.5L bottles and with a splice in the bottom two bottles and a tornado coupling joining the top bottle. The launcher is a cable tie system and the recovery system is a tommy timer with a side deployment parachute.

This was the first successful fight with the camera (MD80) that worked this time. I got some good footage on this test flight.

This was a very good test day with the first splice, the first successful video and a new tommy timmer. There is still more work to do but the new systems work well.

Please enjoy the video.

Very nice flights jerm and good on-board video as well. Looks like we missed each other only by hours. We were launching at the same oval in the afternoon on the 22nd. Perhaps we should co-ordinate. :D
