Re: New Videos
Nice videos, Christian! The ring you put around your guide rails with the slots for fins to pass through is a great solution to stabilize the guide rails. One question: did you make the non return valve or is that an off-the-shelf component? Thanks.

I bought the non return valve in a hardware store, because I don't have the equipment to make such things at home.

Re: New Videos
I have made my own non return valve by placing a washer inside the tee at the base of my launcher and then screwing a short nipple on top to hold the washer in place. I put a ball bearing inside the nipple and that's all. No tools required. It did leak slightly but I put some silicone under the washer because the bottom of the tee was not smooth and after that it holds very well.chriswaterrockets wrote:Hi and thanks!U.S. Water Rockets1 wrote:Nice videos, Christian!
