Custom Model Rocket Engine Test 1

This is the first batch of model rocket engines that we made. They're just reloaded Estes engines that should fit right into our model rockets. All of these engines blew out the nozzle or exploded altogether. There are 6 C-sized engines, 2 D engines and 2 E engines. The engines were repacked with various grades of black powder. The duds were disassembled and rebuilt.

That's a lawn mower you hear in the background.

lol, I guess you figured out a great way to make firecrackers at the very least! I'll probably stick to buying engines myself.
