Jebster's RC rocket launcher

[jebster]

I decided my BC8 needed something to make use of its 5th wheel. This was a long project with a lot of hours invested but it came out awesome. Still need to take it out for a full operational test but decided to show what it can do in a video. Detailed pics and an action video showing rockets flying to follow.

Incredible! What size rockets are you using, b, c?

I'm going to start of with A motors. Want to see how far they fly. If it isn't enough I think I can fit a rocket with B size motors in.

Badass, I have never seen a safety yellow rocket launcher before. Can’t wait to see more footage, well done.

Bad Ass indeed. Was expecting to see some Minute Men launching.

Honestly a3-4t’s should be plenty of safe range. A cone top with fold out stabilizers.

Thanks all. This one took a lot of thought to get it laid out so it was strong, light and functional.

Right now I have some 1/2A3-4T and A3-4T motors right now. We'll see what works best. Bought a 10 pack of estes gnome rockets to experiment with.
