A three part model rocket assembly videos using scratch parts.

Some interesting points:
Using metal skewers for engine hooks.
A parachute protector, what he calls and ejection shroud, on part 2.
I'm going to try that parachute protector for sure on one of my larger rockets. Shower curtain material for parachutes is also interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI don't think his parachute protector was a 100% success, still an interesting idea. The shower curtain parachute is a good idea, but would be too thick a material unless the body tube was a larger diameter.
Plastic table cloth sheets and garbage bags also make good cheap parachutes.
