[NZbobNZ]

i think thats clasifide as a missile

[MrGretschman69]

lol thats a cruise missile

[spareaxe]

I can't imagine driving past a military post with this big rocket thing by your Ford pickup!

[sergt86]

This rocket accelerated to supersonic?

[mbppg1]

This was a cool rocket to watch. As it went through mach it actually brew two of the three fins apart. Very cool boost.

[gps93]

Full scale!!! Lets send something to suborbital flight while we are at it!

[carmium]

Holy heck! You mean Wedge (?!) drives a mobile rocket launcher down the road and doesn''t get pulled over guys in black sedans?

[Destro7000]

jeez, that was Sleek!

[SurfingIsMyLifeBro]

i love that sound when the rocket takes off

[newyorkcentrury]

how high did it go ?

[metalwizard23]

@newyorkcentrury Been so long ago I dont remember. but well over a mile.

[vexviper]

@metalwizard23 You remember but you refused too! That’s because your rocket went passed the authorized altitude limit and you lost your license. Sound about right?

[metalwizard23]

@vexviper What are you talking about? first off it's not my rocket second off the owner of the rocket never lost any license .. your way off in your accusations

[danaownsall]

@metalwizard23 They were at the Black Rock Desert, so even if the rocket went 5 miles up it woudnt have exceeded its altitude limit. Ive seen windows for 140,000 AGL there, so please stfu

[pbrew85]

@vexviper why would you need a license to go over 1 mile? dumbass.

[vexviper]

@pbrew85 You dont' I was just trying to start something because I was bored lol. So in other words I was trolling :)

[edwinshap1]

@vexviper umm, the altitude limit was 100,000 ft. only possible with a minimum Q motor housed AS the body tube. this was too large and heavy to even break 20k ft.

[jmar1371]

@newyorkcentrury

IIRC, change under 33K.

[newyorkcentrury]

how high did it go ?

[justinhall83]

What estes model is that?

[nicksynnz]

What a beautiful rocket man...beautiful launch.

[Eggdude16]

[benner2000]

Fuck Iran, American civilians can build better rockets. Ooh-rah!

[YakAV8R]

Flys straighter than those Irainian rockets!!

[dontcommentme]

[jshicke]

Gee, that kinda makes my little Estes rocket look like a joke :-)

[billhaley1868]

[csrgatorfan]

I agree

[ljsavmech]

yea but that is how they got started

[unobombers]

[MetroDNews]

No camera on board? Well....nothing to look at but sand anyway. Probably wouldn't have looked like anything.

[Sigmajungen]

its homende rocket?

[driftability]

Wow thats cool.

[RamiAtrash]

that thing needs onboard camera! did it came out from the atmosphere ?

[Agentoxedo07]

holy-terrorist:> *=* good job

[metalwizard23]

Yep. you can see the wobble as it goes through

[driftability]

Does that thing break the sound barrier.

[DTHRocket]

Gee, how do you get reliable cluster ignition on P motors? I can barely cluster G motors properly!

[metalwizard23]

Not my rocket, but the answer is Thermite!!!

[ImARunescapeUber]

thatsa real mans rocket right there. Shoulda put a camera onboard though, 5/5

[ssRNA]

Holy s........ really good man.

[eastoff1]

we used to put size f and g engines in really small rockets and replace he parachute and fill the base full of black powder. you get the picture.

[Wolf9656]

lol

[sataraid]

Now thats what I call a hobby.

[mycatwilatackyou]

Thats a nice BB .

[Lancecrafter]

How high did she go?

[rainstormaeroponics]

thats cool

50-100kg payload?

[ammosmith]

How many times did you get pulled over by the cops towing that thing there?

[metalwizard23]

actually 105% scale...

[vostok0457]

love it (full scale huh) brings me to tears...

[DTHRocket]

I don't know why, but any info I try to find on this rocket on the Internet I can't open. Some sort of scam AntiVirus 2009 notice comes up. Grr.

[brienza1975]

Sounds like you have a virus,DTHRocket!

[metalwizard23]

yes nike Hercules.

[DTHRocket]

Was it just a rumor, or did I hear he was building a staged rocket, like 4Qs to an R or something?

[plisko1978]

Nice work guys P engine wow!!!!!

[DTHRocket]

[nicksynnz]

That is the most awesome beautiful looking rocket I have ever seen. Awesome dude. It works fantastically well. More Please

[menu12345]

[UKrocketeer]

[rebelcountry33]

didn't that rocket go on 3 "P" engines? very nice flight though....id be interested to know what the altitude on that flight was...

[VooDooRocketry]

Who built those wonderful P motors? ;-) Nice work Darren and Jeff
