[khairulrzl]

hello ninja_iga....

nice to meet you ...

i live in damansara damai.....usually launched my WR at my workplace after office hour, actually its a school field... that is at SK Bandar Baru Sri Damansara 2....

not sure when is my next launch... right now I'm trying to make another launcher using the gardener connector... first attempt was a failure ..... still thinking what gone wrong and find the solution ....

yah... may be on the next launch i will inform you.... exchange ideas....

hi Khairul

nice to meet you too!

i've just managed to source the brass Gardena type quick release, i got it from SS2 Chow Yang's hardware store for RM24
yea we should meet up first prior to launch

have you seen my Wrockets?
can we launch at the school?

[khairulrzl]

hi again stanley....

thx for the info.... a just looking the right gardener connector... cause the one that i had is a plastic type with a white plastic clip inside it... the problem that i had with the white plastic clip type of release that is its hard to release the WR when i put on high pressure... i want to ask you whether the brass gardener quick release that you just bought it had a ball bearing type or the white plastic clip.....???? cause i want to find the ball bearing type... i think it had a smooth release...... i already search all hardware store near my area , they didn't sell the one with a ball bearing inside, just the one with a plastic clip....

at my school field also can launch, and we have to wait all the student went home.. ( for safety reason ) but for your information my school is near a road site and a housing area and flat..... we can still manage to launch if we make sure the land site for the rocket couldn't reach it.... for now, we have launched at least more than 30x times... and haven't yet land near the road site or the housing area ( maybe its depend on the wind condition hi hi hi hi hi .......... )

I have to postpone my next launched for a few days cause going for out station... maybe next week we'll make another launched ... new project in progress on coming hi hi h hi hi hi hi....

thx... see again...

hey Khairul

the one i've found is ball bearings ;)
actually the problem you're facing is a common one, due to the pressure, it produces alot a friction from the parts all stressed up.

check out http://www.aircommandrockets.com for George's lever system. I'm using a similar one as well, my Clark Cable launcher is also a bit difficult to launch.
with the lever it's super smooth ;)

i'm worried about that, because my WRockets are at least 4,4liters and above.. maybe we could also launch in the Kota Damansara, my friend says some guys fly RC planes there, should be big enough.

do you use a recovery system?
PM me your contact number?

[khairulrzl]

stanley... i can't find the hardware shop that you mention at ss2, can you give me a direction or the the exact location.... tq

[ninja_iga]
