Rocket on a N2000 OVER 6500 FT

[sgtForgione]

(say this in an asian accent) SPINNING TORNADO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MeanestKitten]

the first time i used my big red rocket the parachute failed and i had to watch it nose dive. it sucked ass

[Yogdude134]

Dear Santa...

[gurcsik]

hey what was that sounding device you used?

[Lar1998]

cool wish i had one of those

[trollingtrolo]

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!

[dani1723b]

cant it shoot down aircraft :D

[faizuraja100]

Im Flying WOwo O.o

[tclaire8]

i'm very dizzy

[Hamradioismyhobby]

OK WOW!!!!!!!!!! 100 stars! LOL

[Verradonairun]

@couchpotato1141 What fuel did you use? Not exactly interested in commercial names that the fuel may have, more the composition.

[TheGlendini]

Nice Video, But, THAT AINT 6500ft. Well at least not AGL. Maybe 6500ft above MSL if the ground is already 5000ft AGL.

[GreenySVK]

0:08 it leaves nice shadow

[MadHighway]

Hangover cure.

[TheMrBlinx]

It would be so much nicer if we could see where we are going on the way down. Make it so it ejects the cam/transmitter which comes back on it's own chute.

[Wyatt277]

cool dude

[kyle2892]

Ho...ly....shitballs

[HappyHourFilms1]

Next Step:

Space Hamster.

[FantasticBob7000]

@HappyHourFilms1 watch?v=p3G5IXn0K7A

[tanonginosibalasi]

next time launch it from a balloon

[aezakmi1234567123456]

o my god

[toranamunter]

does it rotate on purpose? like, to stabilise or something? It seems innefficient, spinning so fast, was something assymetric?

[Dageki]

@JumboJetBoy1 Did you not see it getting caught by something at the end?

[p0parkour]

oh man, I got headache with this ...

[SUPERALEXXG]

@superrocketfreak i know it killed

[flipknockphilippines]

i almost threw up,, hahaha

[cwbtle2]

i just threw up all over my keyboard

[vlad781]

yes its me...again....Im new to this, Im getting ready to launch my first rocket, i purchased KNO3 and Fuse and tomorow im going to target for PVC Pipe. do i need to contact my city before i launch? If you can check online for me, i live in Santa Clarita...i dont know where to check. the nearest airport is a small one, about 45 Miles away, and planes fly in between 5,000 and 10,000 Ft. Im planing to go only a few hundred feet, but still, dont want to pay a fine.

[vlad781]

why do rockets always spin???

also, how did you get the parachute to open at the peak of its altitude?

[TheRobot452]

@vlad781 Generally people add a special charge in the motor at the back. Once the motor is depleted the heat from the fuel lights the charge, which is specially designed to blow the parachute out of the casing. Basically when the fuel runs out, the rocket is at it's peak altitude because there's no more thrust to push it up and the charge is lighted.

[vlad781]

@TheRobot452 ok, but i do not understand how to light the charge for the parachute.Im gonna look for kits i can purchase online..

[TheRobot452]

@vlad781 Well, let's say you have 500 grams of fuel that burns at a rate of 100 grams/second. Simple math tells us that after 1 second you will have burned 1/5 of the fuel starting at the bottom of the rocket. There is still 4/5 of unburned fuel above it along with the charge. After 2 seconds another fifth is gone and you have 3/5 left, etc., etc. After 5 seconds the flame has burned its way through the fuel and will ignite the charge positioned at the end of the fuel. Hope this helps. :)

[TheRobot452]

@TheRobot452 The charge is lit by the heat from the engine. It fires automatically. 

[vlad781]

@TheRobot452 oh, it totally helped. im going to try this when i get another chance

[camelsamul]

daddy, the spinning is making me sick.

[Landotter1]

VERY nice.... Great video... Great job folks!!!

[nick41324]

Next time duck tape a hamster to the top and tell me if it's alive by the time it lands

[Z0MBI3K1LL45]

i feel sick :(

[asah991]

is that beep saying where going to land really really soft?

[raptorcommander]

dizzy.....

[soverato3]

you mean the whole rocket + engine was $500 or the engine and other things needed only????

[metermatch]

@soverato3 the motor reload only for a N size costs more like $600-$800. The rocket at other parts could be $500 to $1000 or more.

[mmaaxx1198]

@metermatch Its thats correct for a reload kit then my experiments with apcp are well worth it, but for the whole rocket setup, that would be a perfect price.

[zoe873]

i do rocketry and my dad and i got a rocket up to 10,927ft last weekend

[kylerdunn1]

geneseo,ny?

[kylerdunn1]

geneseo,ny?

[MrRavenousRhinos]

Job well done. It's great to see a perfect recovery deployment. Especially from the rocket's perspective. The boost phase illustrated how structural integrity is still the primary focus vs roll stability in level 3 projects. Your video has started me thinking about active roll damper control systems for my next project. Congratulations...well done!

[Lagdieb]

yeah thanks you jut blew my ears off.

WHATS THAT FU**IN NOISE?!?!?!? 1:29

[XboxPhantom]

dizzy

[phenixking300]

dont u have to like notife airports before you do that

[UrOwnStupidity]

@phenixking300 no

[DFX2K9]

@phenixking300 usually, yeah.

[1123avatar1123]

@phenixking300 yea u have to notify the reserves too

[kaziabir1]

@phenixking300 FAA...not the airport...

[openminded1313]

@phenixking300 Yes

[streetsurfer133]

@phenixking300 he dosn't have to, but he must make sure the sky is clear of airplanes

[TheAndroidNerd]

@phenixking300 per law if anyone launches a object over 1000 ft in the air the FAA must give permission

[UnstoppableSlinky]

@phenixking300 High powered rockets such as this require an FAA waiver, that is quite often difficult to get.

[adamf2011]

u can barely see curve of the earth freaking sweet

[thaGkillah]

can you make an tutorial how to make an high owered rocked engine?

[JDrockerDUDE]

@thaGkillah its not hard dude lol 

[thaGkillah]

@JDrockerDUDE

then show me!

[thaGkillah]

@JDrockerDUDE

then show me!

[JDrockerDUDE]

@JDrockerDUDE well for one start with either constructing the body itself, or buying parts for one, than using blue prints and maybe a laser cutting machine grid out your fins, than either buy a nose cone or spin one yourself outta plastic or fiberglass or wood. find what style of launch lugs you want, thats the things on the rocket that guide it off the rail and hold it on. than either create or buy your parachute. thats just the basics for now. if you actually want real tips, hit me up lol.

[jasenwest]

holy crap.... excellent shit dude....

[Andyterranbase1]

@couchpotato1141 KNO3, Sugar, dextrose and sucrose?

[Andyterranbase1]

jesus.. high powered rocketry is expensive, did you buy that engine or make it?

[Andyterranbase1]

what did that launch cost?

[couchpotato1141]

4 to 500 dollars

[kaziabir1]

@couchpotato1141 6500 ft for real??? It really does not look like it.

[1972paintballbeast]

@couchpotato1141 i bet u if u spent1million u'd be able to go to space

[Something31337]

@couchpotato1141 LMAO great price range =D

[soverato3]

@couchpotato1141 why so much?? for a cheap motor??

[openminded1313]

@couchpotato1141 I admire your dedication and desire but for a lot less amount of money I can rent a Cessna or Piper aircraft and fly to the altitude that rocket reached; and see even more than what that camera shows. You will have to do better for next time.

[Spacehorse99]

@couchpotato1141

Sorry I'm new to this stuff $500 for 1 lift off or for the roket that you can re-use ?

[MegaTalhamalik]

@couchpotato1141 it would have been hillarious if you found out the camera was off the whole time xD

[Mysticlambo]

how did you only get 5-10k feet on an N??? were you running a heavy payload???

[QuattroStig]

@Mysticlambo The letter doesn't specify burn time. Only Impulse.

[Mysticlambo]

@QuattroStig Yes i know. back then i knew too. question still remains, under an N2000 (Aerotech one?) thats even a 50% N , unless you had like a 120lb rocket, you should still make it past 6K . shouldnt you?

[QuattroStig]

@Mysticlambo

There are too many variables to conclude that. We don't know the dimensions of the rocket or total mass. We don't know if it was windy that day. We don't know the brand of motor or the specific motor model. We don't know if he made the motor himself.

[Mysticlambo]

@QuattroStig True. maybe he could tell us haha. the only thing we really DO know is that its atleast 10241NS and has an avg impulse of 2000ns

[bkuker]

Is that Geneseo? (MARS or NyPower?)

[couchpotato1141]

ya its Geneseo (mars)

[bkuker]

Cool, great flight & video! it showed up on my front page, I'm surprised I recognized the HAG buildings and that bend in the river!

[justinhall83]

that didnt LOOK like ten thou feet.

[fga34dcds]

more like 5k feet?

[nicksynnz]

Great launch
