2XTREEM Motorcycle TV Model Rocket Launch

[GenoKatz4]

i just dont see the point in making an elaborate launch with all these cameras and shit for such an uneventful launch, not to mention they had no clue what they were doing.

[carmium]

Made for a crap rocket, but it wasn't bad as an airplane!

[lin350gg]

that white girl is counting down like omg 9 like 8 like 7 like 6 like 5 omg like 4 omfg 3 omfgd 2 ooommmggggg 1 like mmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!like like that was cool!!!!!!!

[alamoghost]

@lin350gg You fricken moron! Gag yourself with a spoon :)

[ImerseMedia]

Morons......

[Paradoxmagic]

Cruise Missle FTW I had one do to that on me though it was much much bigger and with a home made engine.

[TERRANCIO]

Twelve Years doing that??? lol Too much emotion build up for a launch... well, congrats anyways for the video...

[TheBayourat]

You need a bigger motor. There is a computer program you could of used to simulate the launch. It's called RockSim. You should not fly unless you have a 5 to 1 thrust to weight ratio.

[bestamerica]

i have one saturn 5 and aerotech G80-4,,,

no launcher yet

[DIRTNAPPIN222]

start watching at 2:40 to cut the bull-shit and watch the launch

[ConspiracyHist]

Well said Sir

[Stampere09]

thanks dude!!!

[soylentgreenb]

...We have an anomaly...

[FarginBastiges]

I launched a Saturn V like that in the 70's with a cluster of 5 C6-5 engines. Amazingly, they all fired. The problem was the launch pad was not stable enough and it tilted and launched at a 45 degree angle toward our school. Thankfully, it landed safely in the grass between two buildings.

[budwheizzah]

Needs more propellant. About four time more. that or a longer rail. Otherwise its own weight makes it veer off course before it gets up to speed and gets straightened by air.

[vedo1117]

these fins are way to small, you should either try to make them bigger, or if you don't want to ruin the scale, add some weight towards the nose, it moves the center of gravity um and you get a more stable flight.. also use a more powerful engine, this one just isn't enough

[hughshikarii]

hahahaha, i could just see it hitting some dude on the other side of the field in the head while he wa walking along:)

[krustyclown42]

Great looking rocket, pity about the wind.

Only comment - looks like an Estes Black Powder motor used - not AP. Nothing like used in the Shuttle SRBs

[Pieishman]

hehe epic fails

[alexanderthewraith]

It's a real motherfucker making the main stabilizer fins on the bottom aint it?! Lots of fine cutting and sanding as each one is TWO pieces! It took me(on and off) about three months to complete it. I think a friend of mine might have had the Interceptor but not sure! I'm eventually gonna make all my own motors and buy materials in bulk! Sorry for being so rude...but I was just sayin' I myself would NEVER launch mine in wind like that. If you can build that kit your definately NOT an idiot!

[alexanderthewraith]

Man I made this same Estes kit and it took forever...no room for errors or your fucked! It had all kinds of special construction specs and lots of finishing work with flimsey decals! There is no way I would launch it in wind like that! These douches didn't care because they did not put in the time to actually MAKE something! IDIOTS!

[2xtreem727]

Sorry you feel that way. We have built many of these rockets and we had no choice but to launch on that date. If fact I have built them since 1974. When did you start. Do you remember the interceptor?

[polandadog2324]

were did you get it

[lkfh]

April is a pussy cat. Go back to boot camp!

[mousepd]

April is hot!!

[fjohn84]

I agree with 12 years wasted!

[mackjsm]

Too Much Talk too little action...

[yahman193]

Epic FAIL! that douche that has 12 years experience is retarded.

[rainstormaeroponics]

he looks at his watch lol but there is no watch on his arm

lol 0.47

well cheap

[twokool212]

he was being a smartass to the dude who was talking.

[helipilot727]

12 years wasted

[jakeplayer23]

ants!!!!lol

[mafugzzz]

you need a stronger engine!!!

[MarioLoco03]

ICBM!

[imdadrock]

to much wind danm if nasa had the satern do that on the pad the men would even go ner that thing until the fuel was removed

[taliban0king]

u trying to bomb someone?

[pettibone62]

I got an rocket for that hottie

[htmlbandit]

Nice!

[05Robert71]

It would be funny if during that first launch the rocket clipped their cars. It was close though

[cheesesteak999]

what sized engine did you use? it didn't look that big

[MarkFromHawaii]

Good one - loved it! Nice build job. Uhhh, the builder must've cried. ;-)

[bestamerica]

what happened to this saturn V go wrong..

because of windy or wrong fin turn

[RocketMan8911]

LAME!!! TOTALLY LAME!!! NASA does use ammonium perchlorate as the fuel oxidizer for the SRB, but Aerotech WhiteLightning and the SRB fuel are completely different all they have in common is the bright white flame ,white smoke, the fuel oxidizer ammonium perchlorate.

[2xtreem727]

Hey Rocket Man. I guess I should have been more specific. For the general viewer, using AP and similar bonding agents is close enough. Your right, the fuels are not exactly the same, but the theory and manufacturing process is very similar. Lame, totally Lame is a bit strong when referring to a group who put up thousands of dollars to dedicate a bike to the Apollo program.

Thanks

[dabomb098]

ha ha too windy

[just1ofgod]

same stuff as the shuttle boosters huh i didint know NASA used black powder lol

[DTHRocket]

I think NASA uses ammonium perchlorate.

[just1ofgod]

yeah thats what i think too its sim to whats in Aerotech white lightning i think

[Trompthar]

DITTO!!

[jnigeld]

That's TOO FUNNY...and I say that because I've "been there and done that"! Next time, put an AEROTECH motor in that thing...HA-HA!!!
