@gk123434534 That's a very good idea to use both. I'll try it when I do the repairs for this season. Thanks

@theomml123 Thanks. :) Sorry we don't have a step by step tutorial for this launcher. If you go to our main website there are plenty of details about this particular launcher. If you choose to build a similar one, I'm happy to give suggestions if you get stuck.

Hi gorge did u hand make your nozzle or did u buy it and my tornado coupling works but I just need to study your splicing technec

@fatpeople249er Yes, we machine our own nozzles on the lathe. The splicing technique takes a bit of practice, but is not difficult. Make sure you have plenty of bottles on hand to practice with.

Hi, I use an identical brass quick connector (it's likely to be a different brand but they look the same) but if I fit it to flexible tube it just bends sideways and launches in whichever direction it chooses. How do I attach it to a solid tube?

@cartilige Rather than trying to secure the release head to a solid tube, try to add a guide rail to your launcher to support the rocket. That will always ensure the rocket flies in the same direction when it leaves the launcher. This way the release head can just stay attached to the flexible hose.

@gk123434534 I did try that, and it worked very well but the weight of the rocket pushing down bent the flexible tube and caused a lot of wear on the wall of the tube to the point where it split. I have since changed to a reinforced hose which has braiding inside of it but I fear the same will happen again.

@cartilige Ahh ok. One thing to try is to secure a vertical post made from a piece of wood or pipe in the middle of your launcher, and have the bottom of the release head rest against the corner of the post so it can take the weight. Then you can just use wire to tie the hose to the post. You will still need the guide rail, but that should be able support the weight.
