@rennieallen I bought my kids a couple of Estes rockets in the late 70's in Canberra, Australia. They had a chute that deployed when the rocket ejected the nose cone. They had electric ignition and were heaps of fun. They worked well. Maybe the Aussies in the vid lived out in the bush where they couldn't get Estes stuff.

I and my cousin were backyard rocket engeneers once. But we used pressure propelled rockets instead. Were not brave enough to try burning fuel. :)
We had several models. V1, V2 with improved wings and V2 "mit der halter". That "halter" was used to carry small explosives. T'was nothing special but great fun!

Yeah, they must've had real primitive Estes rockets in Australia in the 80's. When I was a kid in Canada, I launched a 6ft Estes rocket with a plastic nose cone (not rolled cardboard) with a recovery system on July 11th, 1979. I remember the exact date, because it was the day of Skylab's re-entry, and I had people pulling over to the side of the road with my 6ft metallic painted object hurtling down (before the chute deployed :-)

When I was a kid doing this stuff the Estes engines had ejection charges that opened the two sections of the rocket and a plastic parachute opened and the rocket came down nicely. A three foot length of sturdy wire guided the rocket in a straight trajectory upon launch. Nose cones and fins were made of balsa wood that we sanded down to a glasslike finish. One could even mount a small 8 mm movie camera on the rocket and have a fine view. Model rocketry must have become primitive.

where can you get those distress flare motors from in Aus?

@Jettrecords1 Thanks, it was a different time and lots of fun chasing the dream of high powered rockets when none were available.

Love the video. What kind of engines did the K1 and K2 have?

@slaction Motors out of distress flares, they are amazing little thrust generators.
