July Week 2 Winners

what kind of rockets you into?

i used to do single stage and simple double stages. usually with just C and D class engines. gave up because i could never find them after i launched them

I have some Estes C5's lying arround and have launched some. But I prefer to build my own engines from Candy propellant or the like. I don't like parachutes, I rather give it some other sort of payload

I'm currently testing some home-made nitro cellulose to see if it can be of any use in my rockets. I need to tame it a little as it burns way to fast. It's just a project for fun as candy is better suited for hobby rocketry anyway.

damn, i never got that far into them,

i found a couple of the little micro engines in my room a few days ago, but i lost the mini rocket i used them in. i think i should just strap them to another small model car again.

Yeah that's fun, but those small engines don't really provide enough powder to give it some real speed. Maybe it's more fun to bind it to a little stick and just launch it as if it was firework Stick has to be really light thought

Yeah, me too. It's 9.83m/s2 on the poles and 9.81m/s2 on the equator if I'm right. That's why it's more economic to launch (big) rockets from the equator. Not many people actually know this

And that's because the earth is flattened in the equator, so it's radius is bigger "horizontally" than "vertically"
