Building Your First High Power Rocket - Part 4

Putting together a high power rocket is actually easier than you might imagine. In this fourth video, you'll see how install rail buttons and the Aeropack engine retainer.

We're trying something different in this series of videos. I'm personally going to move from being in front of the camera, to being behind it. The construction of the rocket is being done by Erin Card, who works here at Apogee Components as web designer and customer service representative. Since we're video recording the process of making this kit, we're taking a bit longer than normal. But that's cool. Every time you get to see Erin, she's wearing something different.

No way - why do I not have those 3-part rail buttons!! :-)

Awesome. Note to Erin... this is going to have to make its debut using CTI Skidmark propellant (First launch, all show, no efficiency), followed by a few flights on CTI Classic for a bit of structural abuse ;) (Regular flights, little show, all efficiency) Watch the CTI Classic... it tends to outperform its own rating by a tad and isn't gentle on the host aircraft. It's pretty awesome.

That was a thorough and detailed presentation. Nice work.
