HART Rockets Onboard Rocket video using ATC-2000 Camera

[DSScriber]

Nice!

[univmalik]

hey how high did the rocket go?

[hartrockets]

@univmalik a little over 1,000 feet

[hartrockets]

yes a 54inch parachute

[Aitidina]

oh, does the rocekt have a parachute?

[Aitidina]

wait... WHO'S SCREAMING!?

[1BustedMyth]

Nicely done!

[PappaKosta]

Very badass!

[Silavite]

That rocket almost hijacked the train!

[L33tP1ckL]

Great video... wonderful clarity. Your rocket's design reminds me of the old 'Groove Tube' from the late, great Centuri (company).

[brushybillguide]

That was one heck of a ride,, thanks!!!

[Ubojica6661]

Coooooool

[killemo213]

so thats what a nose cone hitting the rocket sounds like!

[isenwald]

Very interesting fin design. Are you considering strap-on boosters?

[freezinteen]

must be a lot of acceleration G's

[harmsworth1]

Nice Flight!

[alabala327]

awsome

[aquosman99]

Whats the difference between the circular fins and regular triangular fins

[hazelwood55]

pretty cool

[anglicky69]

i want to see a launch where the camera view is reversed.

[RepEvox]

AWESOME!

[BobAndGeorgia02]

cool!

[lucasacurcio]

This is so cool man!

[Denus01]

Wow, it went very high and was quite stable: cool video!

[aalexxanderr]

Sophisticated

[presbarkeep]

5...4...3...2...1... gotta change my pants!!!

[hartrockets]

The rocket was scatch built but its very easy to build something similar as the fin tubes are the same diameter as the main body

[DansFANTASY]

Whast are the rockets called where can you buy them ?

[pauldve]

I like the cup holders good idea

[muldoon55]

very cool

[Dogman022908]

that so cool, dude

[xtreamdrummingguy]

Dude that's awsome. U think u could send me schematics for it?

[xtreamdrummingguy]

Dude that's an awsome rocket!!!!!!!!!!! Was it like one of thoes premade design things that estes makes or what?

[hartrockets]

HI Mate, no the rocket is a scratch built rocket of my own design, its just over 6 foot in length and 4inches in diameter. Normally flies on an "I" class motor which is approx 250 times the power of an Estes "A" motor

[airpower123]

@hartrockets i'm interested in getting some rockets can you tell me where u purchased it? also the camera could you have live feeding back to a station on the ground. so you could see footage in real time.

[hartrockets]

@airpower123 HI, you can buy model rockets from most model shops, but if you want to fly BIG Rockets as in the videos, then goto either rocketsandthings . com or rocketstore . co . uk

[hartrockets]

as for live video, yes you can, I have done it on several planes and rockets, for cameras and downlinks visit, firstpersonview . co . uk

[mikethenascarfan]

@hartrockets wht was the highest height you ever got to

[joe69rocket]

hey the tubes for fins is cool! a very different look!

[javierneptuno]

nice fins, but you can edit the sound

[laffstv]

r da round tings on da bottom supposd 2 be lugs or fins?

[mankind730]

14: Houston we have a problem

[laffstv]

btw @14, da ejection charge went off

vry important

[hartrockets]

The tubes work well on most model rockets, this rocket is just over 6 foot long and flies really well on H and I class motors.

[SWWProductions]

hey i like that, gr8 vid, nice stable climb and nice return. Thought it was going to wack into the ground a lot harder at first but no very nice return but what are the cylinders for? are u using them as wings?

[hartrockets]

The Cylinders are the rockets fins.

[megapyro013]

nice, its acually a nice, stable clear video, from a rocket, nice work and good vid

[eyetheskies]

The whipping and jostling at the peak of hte rocket height makes this video most interesting.

[imnotboverd]

great video footage

[hartrockets]

the rocket reached a height of 1102 feet or 335 metres

[Pujc]

how high was that fly? Around 100meter?

[halo3mastercheeif]

lol at 50 feet it sounded like a screamer

[btjaws]

holy crap

[thePEOPLEperson1]

I have got a question for those rocket people out there. OK, so we were making rockets in science and the day we flew the rockets my group glued in the launch lug and the glue was still wet when we launched which i think caused a slow climb because the engine was pushing the launch lug up while the launch lug was still providing friction to the rocket, making it climb, then it crached and blew up right around were the launch lug was, so my ? is did the glu mak it blo up or somthin else :)

[ljsavmech]

It might of been over presure from when the ejction wad try to blow out. remember at the end of the burn a small expoltion pushes out the recover chute. If there was no way for that to blow out then it will blow up.

[TheAustralianCroc]

nice footage

[scottvomit3]

thats a great rocket and the footage of the flight was good too

[GohanDBZ]

Awesome 5/5

[twojaythomo]

and diameter is 50mm

[6stefano6]

THIS IS GREAT!!!!

It is a luck to have one of this camera rockets!!!!

Mirko, from Florence, ITALY

[dundermiflinpaper]

thats a good video, is really stable through launch

[hartrockets]

The Fins are tubes, its a design which is getting more and more common. They also seem to help the rocket fly straighter then normal finned rockets in higher winds.

[ALeKZanDoHr]

um wouldnt the atc-2000 give giant air drag? how big was the rocket?

[hartrockets]

the camera does create some drag but not much, only lost around 20-30 feet in max altitude with the camera attached, the rocket is 4inches in diameter and just over 7 foot long.

[twojaythomo]

Just wondering I was going to build a 4-5 foot rocket what sort of engine will push that weight I was going to use a H-I size

[hartrockets]

depending on the weight and diameter of the rocket you could get away with a high impulse "G" motor but a "H" would probably be best suited.

[twojaythomo]

the rocket is going to be made from PVC pipe im hoping to get it around 2.5 kg fully loaded with a H class motor but not sure if a H class will lift that weight

[hartrockets]

A high impulse H motor would lift 2.5kg, the rocket in the above video actually weighs 2.7kg and has flown on a H400 but I would personally stick with "I" motors for rockets of that weight,

please make sure you have the experience to fly HPR before you even try, if not come along to Crock or a UKRA associated club to get help and assistance to fly it.

I hope you also have a suitable recovery device, along with the explosive licence and relevant insurance cover to fly a HPR rocket legally.

[Christopher7569]

Nice but how come the fins are circular?

[Zoomer30]

Almost got the shock cord tangled up there :)

[adrifromhh]

haha

[stealth71593]

nice recovery i thought u lost it there

[ineedanewbike]

sweeeeeet!

[cruzieal1]

very cool.

[darkeneddreams]

how is this rocket powered?

[hartrockets]

the rocket is powered by a Pro38 "I" class high power rocket motor

[randomchris1988]

have you seen the one where the camera falls off the guys rocket and actually survives??

[tafkam]

cool
