Test THREE of the rocket plane project, with marginal success! Improved on previous versions with a full length heat deflector and proper balancing.

The Rocket Plane project involves mounting a rocket motor inside an unbelievably light styrofoam airplane, with questionable results. Check out the progress of the project.

  • The guide rods need to be longer so the plane gains enough speed for the wings to stabilize it.

  • Too much thrust, try for a longer burn but a longer burn, if you can. Get it some lift before you burn it - a longer launcher. It's stalling as soon as it gets off the ground. I watched another one, and that's the case. Also, make sure your line of thrust is neutral. Thrust shouldn't cause any pitching at all in a winged aircraft.

  • nice 666 views lol awesome sweet video

  • Hand launch it, ya waste to much energy getting it off the ramp
