[4states1universe]

[solidskateboards]

Karo

[4states1universe]

lol sorry dude im meant light or dark

[solidskateboards]

Oh...light.

[4states1universe]

cool, just got your book its pretty sweet just tested my first k450

[solidskateboards]

Awesome! How did it go?????

[4states1universe]

oh it was sweet theres a video of it on my thing

[solidskateboards]

Looks good! Why are there bolts on the nozzle? I think you're right about the off center core and the ignition. Did you use a different ignition than the book shows?

[4states1universe]

@solidskateboards I will have to message you because my computer freezes on comments

[4states1universe]

cool, just got your book its pretty sweet just tested my first k450

[4states1universe]

cool, just got your book its pretty sweet just tested my first k450

[4states1universe]

cool, just got your book and tested my first k450 yesterday

[Thechessdragn]

That was a pretty good idea to move the motor forward. I added nose weight for my first rocket to resolve CG location problems.

[Gallaway400]

Entertaining as well as educational....  Keep up the good work. Now I'm off to your other videos.... :)

[solidskateboards]

Thanks dude.

[journeyquest1]

When you first mentioned the problem the same solution instantly came to my mind. I guess being a mechanic helps. Nice design.

[dragonsite]

I love your vids！ =)

May I ask you a question ？

How did you make your rocket fuel ?

My rocket fuel is always too sticky to fill in.

[solidskateboards]

Its made with sugar, potassium nitrate and corn syrup. Check out the link in the video description for more detailed information.

[mikeyboy256]

hey could u send instructions on how to build cayote rocket!! plz reply

[solidskateboards]

I'll be publishing a book on it early next year. Happy Holidays.

[OCDADVENTURES101]

what type of propellant do you use? is it r candy ? also, what are your fins made of?

[solidskateboards]

R-candy stands for 'recrystallized' candy propellant. My fuel uses may of the same chemicals, potassium nitrate and sugar, but I add corn syrup so that the fuel remains flexible and does not crack. The fuel is also poured into the engine casing as a case bonded grain, not a bates grain like many r-candy users make. I believe a single case bonded grain is much easier to make.

[solidskateboards]

The fins are made from 1/4" MDF or medium density fiberboard available at your local home improvement store. Next month I will be trying HDPE or high density polyethylene sheets to make the fins. Well see how it works.

hey i love your rockets and im buying your book now. I was wondering whats the green pipe you use for the body of the rocket and where could i get this pipe

[solidskateboards]

Great! The green pipe is a PVC drain pipe. I purchased it from Mcmaster. The link and part number are in the book. Good luck with your project!

[19BlackLord91]

made of scrap good job

what is your books name and your name ?

[Loyaxxl]

What schematic software do you use.

[solidskateboards]

TurboCAD from IMSI

[solidskateboards]

It's Queens of the Stone Age, No One Knows. Glad you like the videos.

[2012notgonnahappen]

great vids mate. now i no this is a littel of toppic but the song u play at around 2:20 is on the tip of my tongue and im racking my brain trying to figure out who it is by. Wouldnt mind giving me a nudge in the right direction? ie. tell me plz

[solidskateboards]

Thanks!

[Loyaxxl]

I just got your book its great.

[Loyaxxl]

Can't wait to see it launch.

[bktech333]

what kind of fuel r u using

[solidskateboards]

Kno3 (Potassium Nitrate) , sugar and corn syrup.

[solidskateboards]

Sounds like a good experiment!

[disturbedone5009]

have you ever thought of using a larger diameter tube for the fin assembly than the main rocket body? that way it would create a space for air to flow between the exhaust gas and the tube. kind of of like a turbo fan jet engine where the air bypasses the combustion chamber. it might add some thrust.

if that makes any sense to you.

[jammybizzle666]

looked great mate

[samuraibluey]

nice video, Ghost lol.

[solidskateboards]

I hope so! I can't wait to see myself.

[robojot]

[jeromeyward]

I love how you always think "Outside the box". That's a really good idea!

[forcetoregister]

Haha great job Dan! I really enjoy your work, very informative and entertaining.

BTW: don't ever consider Hollywood cuz you can't act!!
