Hello from the UK

Post by Deckard »

A couple of months back I had a load pop bottles and remembered a mythbusters where they tried to see if it was possible to launch a person with pop bottles. Also I had a toy water rocket when I was a kid which I thought was great, but it broke after only a few flights. So I did an internet search for water rockets and was amazed at all the possibilities and was hooked.

A small one, working on getting a parachute deployment device working. Waiting for some calm weather to try it again at the moment.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

We all seem to have had one of those easily broken toy water rockets!
