"Old Faithful" launch

Post by 160psi »

Here is a video of todays launch of one of our "Old Faithful" design of rocket.

These are single bottle pressure vessel, double skinned to stand higher pressure, with a tail extension to carry the fins and restrict the nozzle to 17mm, and a bottle on the front to bring forward the CLA so that the rocket descends horizontally.

These are extremely robust, reliable rockets.

Todays flight: Old Faithful II, 1.3l pressure vessel, 200psi launch - no idea how high as I am waiting for delivery of an altimeter.

Simple means less things to go wrong. You've got some good onboard footage on that site!
