Model rocket CATOstrophic launch. The Silver Comet is an Estes Retro kit. Looks wonderful. But not when the motor blows up inside! At least the second flight was ok later on. www.calvertfilm.fsnet.co.uk

  • the motor didn't blow up it blew out the top because of a badly secured thrust ring.

  • @JDrockerDUDE Nope, it blew up. We found the pieces afterwards.

  • @Calvertfilm really?!!! it looked like the motor flew right out the top, the motor was even flying on it's own.

  • @JDrockerDUDE Yeah, a bit of the motor was.

  • where do get the thing that ignites the rocket

  • @matthew6969ify Ignitors are from the same shops that sell rocket motors. The launch system is part of a rocket starter set, again from model shops that sell rockets.

  • THAT was awesome.

  • @Calvertfilm it looks to me that the motor casing exited the bottom of the rocket and made the big dent in the launch deflector. I would say the nozzle got clogged and forced the propellent out of the top of the motor and into the air as you suggested in the video.

  • nice ;d

    

  • once in a while mine to this pasted sunday i had one get stuck on the rod and not go up and out of site but sit there run all of all its fuel out and be in good shape
