HomeMade Model Rocket

The launch and maiden flight of my HomeMade model rocket.
*Mostly made out of cardboard
*Tube is a paper towel tube
*Fins are made and cut out of a cardboard box
First flight was with a B engine.
Second and Third flight had a C engine in it.
At the end the engine did not plow back out of the rocket, so it caused the nose cone to blow of and make a hole in the body. It is still reparable.

@DireSpitfire the most common reason why ignitors dud out is because you didnt get the ignitor head far enough to the propelant. lol hate when it happens.

Nice one! I'm surprised that you got 3 flights out of an easy to make- homemade rocket!

@StealthyPotatoes Trace 75% of a circle out of regular notebook paper. Then twist it into a cone to the size you want it, then tape it so it stays in cone shape. Then to stiffen up the cone itself, i just filled up the cone with hot glue.

Hope this helps.
