  • fly the damn thing already. Yes i agree. DR. PHIL!

  • If you were a real rocket builder, you wouldn't be reading the directions. You have the option for the D engine, and you select the B? Are you serious?! Law Number 1 for all you novices out there: "Thrust is Nature's Glue". Strap 4 E engines around the base of that fusilage, and watch it explore space like it was meant to do.

  • FOR GOD SAKE, FLY THE THING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!

  • villageidiots

  • C6=6 newtons average thrust, not pounds :P

  • just refresh page to pass commercials

  • OK thrust measured of a model rocket engine is not measured in LBS in measured in Newtons Per Second. engines are rated in newtons per second below 1 Lbs is 4.44 Newtons A 1.26-2.50 B 2.51-5.00 C 5.01-10.00 D 10.01-20.00 E 20.01-40.00 F 40.01-80.00 G 80.01-160.00 H 161.01-320.00 I 320.01-640.00 In closing if you was to use a 10 lbs thrust engine on BIG BERTHA u just sent her to about 7000 feet and broke the sound barrier. your video is innacurate learn the info before you make a video
  • "Uh well ya see its got about ten pounds of thrust, so uh, you'll wanna figure accordingly...Im more partial to the ten pounds of thrust so I can uh, find my rocket." what a douche

  • hey phil, how'bout shoving it up ur ass!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Thanks for the effort!

  • fuck off.. why 1.000 videos of 1 minute??? And didn´t even numerated it..

  • HELL YES MAN!!!!!
