When you post youtube videos use "http://www.youtube.com/....." instead of the "nl" and it will work for you.Daan.[D&P]Rockets* wrote:something wrong with the youtube link..

Nice design! We think that the nose ejecting parachute deploy is the best for the very same reasons you mentioned. We've been talking about it for some time on our multiply group site. It's a very under appreciated design and as you have shown it's easily adapted to different release mechanisms. Chemical, tomy timer, air flap, servo, etc. all can be used with this type of deploy. Thanks for sharing!

Nice, Are you using that system for the Class C rocket of yours?
Water Rockets are amazing things, One second there sitting on the launch pad, the next, splattered all over your shirt.

Yes, because it can hold a big parachute for long flight time

Re: New simple deploy system Team.[D&P]Rockets
Haha!
We want to launch verry soon again! But the weather was not working with us the last weekend. I only see Pleun in the weekend so we can only launch in the weekend. And last weekend the sun was shining verry bright but the wind was blowing to hard.. But we made some preperations, so we can launch as soon as the weather wants us to launch
We fixed our 7,5 liter rocket ( the big rocket that crashed on the launch with an apogee of 163 meters or 534 feet) It had some wrinkels in the top. But we did a pressure test to see if there where some leaks. But there where no leaks at al So we planned to launch that rocket also very soon! We planned to launch it at 12 bar/174psi but we dont know if it still can hold that pressure.. Lets hope so! because we think that if we launch it at 174 psi we can reach the 200 meter/656 feet barrier that we havn't crossed so far! [D&P]rockets*
