That's a shame. Was the ping pong ball your nosecone / crumple zone or did it somehow deploy the parachute at maximum height. I am glad you had fun building and flying your rocket
There are many ways of building a working recovery system. Ours uses a small wind-up motor taken out of a wind-up toy to deploy the parachute. See our earlier video response. A similar device can be found with full build instructions on instructables
Sorry about the website. We can no longer access the domain due to Tiscali's abysmal customer support (moved suppliers but website still not accessible).
We can still supply rocket launcher kits and puzzle gift sets via email using Paypal.
About 500 feet (rocket designed with mininmum nose-weight and minimum arodynamic drag) However, the launcher will also launch larger multi-stage rockets capable of reaching 1000 feet.
No problems ordering from the U.S. It is Bank Holiday weekend in the UK, so I shall check out current postage costs on Tuesday for you. From memory, surface mail is quite cheap but takes around 6 weeks, whilst air mail is fast but expensive. You can purchase the kits from our website (woodbugs co uk - just add the w's and dots as appropriate) with secure payment through Paypal which ought to take care of any currency conversion.
Please note that the kit includes all parts required to build 1 rocket launcher (excluding glue), all parts to build 1 beginner rocket (this does not include recovery mechanism), comprehensive build instructions, instructional build DVD, plans for the recovery mechanism shown o this video.
We will look forward to hearing from you next week.
Its even easier than that. We sell a kit with comprehensive instructions and a build DVD (or we have one or two built up and ready to launch) available to buy from our website; woodbugs co uk (just add the w's and dots into the url)
We have produced a kit for the rocket launcher to save you a great deal of heartache and surplus leftover materials. The kit comes with a comprehensive set of instructions and a build walkthrough on DVD. Purchase from our site at woodbugs co uk
how did u make your water rocket? Can u tell me the supplies? and maybe even tell me the resources that u got to make it? Or even make me a video how to
The launcher is built up from our kit - supplied are all the bits to build your very own, just add glue and paint. Also supplied are basic rocket bits and a DVD with build demo.
How do i buy it? Your website isn't working! (I will buy it from you if you show me where!)
