Water Rocket Parachute Cam

What happens if you attach your camera to the center of the parachute looking down? Visit: http://www.AirCommandRockets.com/day93.htm for more details.

This video also shows test flights of a fiberglass reinforced 12.4L rocket.

That Fiberglass Polaron got quite some acceleration... happen to know what its top speed was? why dont you build boosters for it to hopefully increase altitude.

Thanks for the videos, when my son is abit older (hes just turned 4 ;)) we will try and make some too.

@ZaanstreekWaterland I think the top speed is about 270Km/h just after burnout. We were actually trying to keep the top speed down to reduce drag and stress on the rocket. With the smaller nozzle we were getting around 20G on launch. We are currently in the process of putting boosters on it as well. :)

You're never too young to start with water rockets. Our youngest was retrieving rockets at 3 :).

Nice flights George. Will you make a fiberglass Acceleron :) ?

[gk123434534]

@Danielastronomo Hi Daniel, Fiberglassing all of Acceleron is the eventual plan. We want to fly it first with only the sustainer reinforced.
