viciouspeanut and cabernet - Thanks for the encouragement. Man building a YouTube channel is tough. It is disappointing when you spend probably a total of 6-8 hours filming and editing a video and get no comments, likes or subscribers but I'm sure it comes with time. Any body who subscribes to me from here I subscribe back because everyone seems to have videos on there channel I didn't know existed. I love watching others launches.
Nytrunner - Do those skis work on water? You read my mind. I want to ad a floatation device to it and see if she will hydroplane over some water. Might even ad a piece of foam (like the foam tray raw meat come in) to give it more surface area.
Neil_w - 1)Weight is definitely my biggest issue. especially seeing that I got the version 1 sled to go further just on 2 D12s. I think version 3 will be going into the works for a total overhaul. thanks for the subscription. I subscribed back. You channel has some awesome launches.
2) I never even though about the tracks helping but you could totally be right.
3) Good idea. I fear making my videos to long because most people don't have the patients to sit through a whole video. It is a bit over whelming seeing 3 angles at once though.
4) The troll is someone I work with and know well and actually get along with haha. He was just giving me a hard time like I would do to him. I did convince him to give it a thumbs up though so ill call it even.
Knuckledragger - I'm actually super pumped someone else is going to build something related to thing. It seems like a super untested idea. I have found a few old YouTube videos of snow sleds people have built but most are just cardboard with a rocket attached. There was one nicely built one with one launch that I could find, I messaged the guy but it seems he has since abandoned the channel. Hopefully you record some of the kids rockets, id love to see them. What sort of materials are you going to use. As for your building suggestions, I'm going to be doing a full revamp of the sled so I will definitely apply some of those ideas.
I will not be strapping my self and rockets to a sled haha, I saw that video before and man that looks dangerous and fun.
