3.15 litre rocket pics

Post by liftoff »

Hi all

Here's a little something I russtled up in the shed this weekend. I've had the bottle for weeks and finaly got a chance to glue'em up and build some flat fins. The recovery tomy timer unit is from 'skinny1' a retired rocket of mine

1 littre bottles spliced asymmetrically, I made two of these and joined them with my home made 'tornado tube' Two bottle caps glued head to head and then PU and powder filler mix glue with a strip of PET wrapped around twice and also PET powder glued and then a 20mm whole cut out between the the two caps.

Bottle diamiter 80mm
Capacity 3.15 litres
Dry weight including recovery unit 0.326 kg
Total lenth 1210mm

Hopefully get out to the park soon for some launching
