"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading".--Thomas Jefferson
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone very, very much for your kind and inspiring words. It's words of encouragement that make people feel good throughout this group and keep them motivated and involved with their passion.
Thanks again.
This is the aluminum casing which the entire reload goes into. So every time you want to fly, in will cost you between $10.00-$16.00 or more depending on the source and availability.
This cost me over $65.00 which is the reusable part of the motor system. Both ends unscrew as you will see in the next shots.
This is one end...
And the other.
So what is the propellant?are there seperate stages? and height of climb?

The propellant is a solid rocket propellant and takes about three to four minutes to assemble when you buy the reload kit. The kit comes with rubber "O" rings, solid propellant charges, cardboard tubes to encase the propellant, delay and ejection charges and igniter wire plus plastic cap to hold the igniter wire in place.Originally Posted by javlin
The highest altitude expected out of this is only 480ft. Apogee Rockets Here is a link to the site.
And this is a single stage rocket by the way. It comes down on two separate chutes.
Huh? You are gonna launch this pig? :

Damn straight!Huh? You are gonna launch this pig? :
Holy snap... this I gotta see.
Why all the scale painting and such? Surely the LEM/or other significant parts are gonna break off, right?
Sorry TBoT, don't want to piss on your parade, but I'm a model guy and hate to see all your detail work go... PHHHT.

Now here's an old classic. It's a OOP model of the Saturn 1B. This is the same rocket Grissum, White and Chaffee died in while running tests on the ground.
I understand the capsule is still locked away in a small shack. I ran into some photos on the Internet some time ago showing this shack with the capsule residing in it.
It's a build in the waiting. And yes it will be built to fly.
The upper section comes down horizontally on a sling. But getting back to your point, I understand. Lets face it, even flying models spend over 95% of their entire existence on display. I don't build nice cars to let them sit in a fuc*ing garge either. I drag race the SOB's.
I grab the bull by the balls and ride it. You'll get thrown off, it's the nature of the game and you know there's a price to pay, but when you become passionate at what you do and you've got years behind you it does help.
Hell I don't mind if sh*t happens, it's just on to the next project. What happens when you spend all that time and money on that woman and it all goes to piss? You get another one that's what I would do!! Why cry over spilt milk eh?
Wow, all that work and a big blast at the end, do you pack your own parachutes in any special way and how large are they?
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Lest We Forget
Here is a link that shows the general way for packing chutes. Rocket Construction Video: How To Prepare A Rocket For Launch
The chutes are 58" inches for the lower section and 36" inches for the upper section wich comes down horizontally via a special sling.
