Welcome to the world's largest forum dedicated to water rocketry! :W

A live webcast of your launch sounds really interesting PH:

I am a little confused about the time though.

Is GMT 15.00 +2 your time zone? SC: or are you launching 2 hours after 15.00 GMT? SC:

Good luck with the launch! Your rocket looks huge! We will definitely try and tune in!

How long did it take you to make that rocket???

Hi thanks for the welcome!

unfortunatly the live feed was not a big succes..the 3G connection was very bad at the remote launch site and only a few images got uploaded.. but I just placed some images taken at the launch site online and I will put the movie on soon! pics here: http://www.bertsimons.nl/portfolio/inde ... um=livecam

Nice job,

Too bad the internet connection wasn't as good as you thought. We all look forward to seeing your video. The nice thing about this forum is that you can embed a youtube video directly in the post by surrounding it with [youtube][/youtube] tags.

Bert,

I also meant to ask you what your plans were going to be for that water rocket Jet-pack you have on your site. What's the story with that?

Congratulations on your successful launch! Too bad the second parachute did not function properly. But any landing the rocket survives is a good landing! :D
It must be quite a good feeling to complete successfully such a long waiting project.
Your website is really well put together and the photos really show off the skill you put into your work.
Hopefully, you will have many more successful launches with this rocket!

Best of luck to you!

Too bad about the live feed, but your Avatar is awesome! That really shows the scale of your rocket!
