Hi George,

I have tried to put some soda in my Z-1 rocket, and that was amazing. It caused an excesive acceleration and the rocket lose the control.

I think that put cheap soda in the boosters of a water rocket with booster could be an intresting idea. What do you think?

Hi Daniel,

Sounds like fun with the soda in your Z-1. Do you have a video of the flight? I think it would be worth a try to see how it goes. It may take a bit of cleaning though to get any sticky residue off the rocket and launcher. Maybe trying fizzy mineral water will mean less cleaning. :)

what is jet foaming?

[gk123434534]

Jet foaming is a technique for generating high pressure foam inside the rocket during flight. From about 1:08 you can see it in action. More details are available on our main website.

p.s.: a couple of days ago i sent you an e-mail ( to the e-mail address located on your website) : do you still use that e-mail address or you don't?

Yes, I got a video of the fligth, but the rocket turn rigth and land far away (Im sure that the reason are the fins, because before my Z-1 rocket leave 8 fins).

But if you are interested on it i can pass you.
