Rocket Sleds (short video)

mbecks said:

Me and my wife had some extra rocket motors lying around and decided to make rocket sleds with them with no knowledge of how. I at least found out, through these forums, that a guide is probably a good idea. See what happens when you decide your smarter then that and can design a rocket that doesn't need a silly guide. Sorry for the poorly put together video I didn't have good footage to rely on. (if this is the wrong place for this please move it)

The only problem is YOU don't know what your doing and apparently are unaware if is Also completely illegal. The Guide wire is the only way anyone can use model rocket motors horizontally along the ground.
If the guys in the Black SUV's haven't visited yet I'm sure the will. If I were you I'd take all these videos down Immediately.

Continue to have fun. There are some safety trolls on this site that spout all kinds of inaccurate information as if it is fact.

Where in your video do you identify the fact your in Canada? Don't you think kids seeing these BAD idea videos will think "Hey; he did it. So it must be OK. Which it is Absolutely NOT violating both the NAR Sport Safety code and more important NFPA-1127. I Really don't give a Rat's rosey red butt where you are! your doing damage to our hobby by showing such unsafe and potentially dangerous things to the masses.
On your land, Flying in as much isolation as possible I don't care what you do. BUT don't you dare show such irrresponsible Crap to unknowing young people.
Take these videos down or I intend to report you to the mods and the authorities.
