My favorite rocket projects have been my rocket sleds. My biggest problem with the sleds is they involve trying to do stuff out side in Canadian winters, which leads to rocket motor failures, lost footage do to camera batteries freezing up and just general discomfort of trying to do things...

I have an idea for a somewhat unique two stage rocket I’m building. I need some help figuring out how to put it together. I understand you need to attach the two motors to each other with some thin tape and that the first stage has zero delay. Here is the things I’m unfamiliar with. (Please...

Is it possible to post video directly from a phone (iPhone to be exact) to the forums here. If so how I can’t find a way. Thanks!

Just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue as me. I love building rockets and experimenting with ideas but, It seems the more of an adult I am the less time I can do this hobby. Its been pointed out that I'm only here in the winter and the really seems to be the case. I seem to be...

have an idea to build a rocket powered tube launching system and am having a bit of design trouble. The concept is to build a tube with a positive powered plate and a negative powered plate at the bottom which are always connected to a battery. When you drop the rocket down the tube the moment...

The weather where I live has been extraordinarily bad lately. On Friday we were the furthest away from our normal seasonal temp world wide. It was -40c (-40f as well actually) which is ridiculous for this time of year. I did manage to get my build on it's way though. I wanted to share a sneak...

Before anything else, this video contains heavy beats so turn the volume down a bit if its not your style. There was about an 8-10" snowfall where I live so rocket building and launching was not even close to an option. I decided to show off my custom built gaming set up...and my giant Canadian...

YouTube is having an issue with this video and it must be played in 1080 if you watch it in youtube or it will stutter and the sound/video will go out of sync. They have been contacted. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Here's my latest adventures with the rocket sled. for the best...

Does anyone know a cheaper source for rocket motors in Canada? In Sask it’s like $30 for a pack of 3 E12s. Is that just a standard price?

Just want to vent some frustration about rocketry in a cold climate. Where I live its been consistently -20c to -25c (-4f to -13f). I finally got a project finished and went to launch it even though it was cold out and hopefully get some footage for a Youtube channel I want to start. Two of the...

Hello all, I’m planning on starting a model rocket channel based around building experimental rocket vehicles, think rocket cars, sleds, boats and rail following cars. If any of you have seen my rocket sled videos you get the idea of what I build. My question is what would follow rocket...

hello TRF Pendulum rocket fallacy or well, she's a bit top heavy. Welcome to the second quarterly challenge. I now call it a challenge rather then a contest because there isn't enough finished submissions to pit against each other, yet! Here is the second challenges criteria: -Build a rocket...

Whos willing to scale down and build a model version of this silly rocket powered weapon? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJQqXXENYsI

Has anyone watched episode three of the white rabbit project on Netflix where Keri Byron tries to reproduce the ww2 idea of landing supply drops with rockets instead of parachutes? I love model rocket projects like this. Out side the box stuff that makes you learn and not just follow.

I'm still trying to work out all the bugs on my rocket sled before I move on to some big power. I do think I've got it worked out. Please tell me what your opinions are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amHUGxuCvH0

I'm interested in starting a monthly rocket Building challenge group on this site. What im visualizing is: 1) a challenge is presented for that specific month. For example, build a rocket out of nothing but balsa wood, or build a rocket that is safely recovered but doesn't involve a parachute...
