LBSR!!!!!

[macintosh659]

does the government know that u have an ICBM at your house?

[mertyiM]

Holy shit i wanna ride that!

[DOCTORDRIBBLES]

Very nice! Where I live fella launched a 4 foot model of Apollo. The detail was fantastic and it was launched on a pitchers mound at the park. It went up 3 feet and coasted sideways, tilted and shot like a bullet straight at homeplate where it crashed and then spun about 30 times while everybody ran for their lives.

[TIRrocketry]

WOW. That is fantastic! Love the rocket too! Was that a full scale patriot?

[spenceeee]

excellent

[pkrska]

The sound is wrong. HAHAHA

Wow, nice rocket.

[waarbenik1]

very cool its nice

[Nickbreaker1]

kno3+shugger motor isnt it

[saszab]

Read the comments. It's not a homemade motor.

[splat4]

Very nice rocket launch and flight! I see this, and several other large scale model rockets on youtube, and I'd like to know where one can obtain such huge rocket motors, or are they homemade? I'd like to build my own large rocket someday, I'm tired of my little Estes, though they were fun. Any pointers?

[VooDooRocketry]

Search for Tripoli Rocketry Association, join, go L2 at least and if you get to the right launches you'll get to meet the people who build their own. It can be dangerous work so learn the safety and the formulas. Be safe, good luck.

and lift off of space shuttle discovery

[rocketman581]

Dan Michael's awesome Aerotech powered Patriot - In a class by itself.

[VooDooRocketry]

IIRC it's a 3/4 scale Patriot design

[12348231]

Very cool! Nicely done.

[FacultyFan]

Do you have to be in a non-populated area to launch a rocket this size?

[cyriz12]

im sure you need permission to launch those rockets in a designated area.

on my college campus we have lots of planes flying by but we only shoot off small model rockets but they do go high lol. with a c engine we could probably hit it. the planes fly so low around here

Stop bragging about your G size rockets.

No one actually cares.

The rockets I,m working on are K-M class, You don't see me shooting up all the comments bragging.

[VooDooRocketry]

Non populated area, FAA clearance, buffer zone for recovery, safe distances for public etc etc A lot of work goes into every launch ahed of time

[NearSpace01]

Cool!

[MKiller5]

I dunno who you were talking about, but if he/she was , so what ?

- To VinnieDain424

[NearSpace02]

How high can these fly?

[adamski895RS]

about 6000 feet on averAGE

[elgranto7]

the first model rocket has been sent to space ( 70 miles)

[nicksynnz]

That rocket is awesome..wow

[DTHRocket]

When you slow it down like that it sounds EXACTLY like giant NASA SRBs!!

[Dmboomboom]

Thanks for all the wonderful comments everyone. My friend shot this video of my 3/4 scale Patriot Missile which weighed 210 lbs. at lift-off. I have launched this rocket 5 times to date. This launch was on 1 "N" class motor, and 4 "K" class motors. I have since built another booster section which now encompasses 1 "N" and 4 "M" class motors. The weight now is 310 lbs. and it goes well over 8000'. If you want to see it fly, come to LDRS 28 in Potter, NY in July of 2009.

[nicksynnz]

What a beautiful impressive launch...I wish mine were as good as this.

[Martion5]

Awesome burn great rocket:)

[LP2LP2]

can it fly into the All (space)

[VooDooRocketry]

All 5 were Aerotechs

[cmatney2008]

can i buy these engines?

[VooDooRocketry]

If you have the certification.

[EvilPrince69]

And a low explosives permit..

[RocketMan8911]

Only the Best. Aerotech the better and only way to fly.

[FacultyFan]

What type of motor are you using?

[mcsew2k]

That can't be real audio of the rocket, can it?

[VooDooRocketry]

This is the slow motion clip, the sound is slowed along with the video.....but it is the real sound slowed down to 20% on FCE

[rnech]

In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise a rocketeer named Andy Woerner, with the help of his rocketry club members, has built a 21 foot long replica of the X-Wing Fighter that will actually fly on four rocket motors in the scale engine locations. For more info check out 3dub d/ot plasterblaster d/ot com/projects d/ot html.

[VooDooRocketry]

Bring it east, I'd bet the boys would build some O motors for it after you shake it down. :-)

[XELASISIHT]

nice

[XELASISIHT]

what are the motor sizes on that one

[VooDooRocketry]

Central N-2000 and 4 K-700s.....well over $1200

[jamdoe23]

They tie a small rocket between two mules and stretch them out.

[robsel]

hahaha

[cwbtle2]

wow that's badass, i just bought a small model rocket from Wal Mart, lol 21" high tho. lol How are you able to make them that big?! A+!

[Nateluebbe]

it IS a real full scale launcher. That rocket is almost 20 feet tall.

[LanciaS4]

cool, even looks like a real full scale launcher!

[rustymunga]

hahahaha! wow! I want one.
