Default RE: CRAZY IDEA!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I finally found the series of screenshots I took from a video of my rocket powered 3' styrafoam glider!!

This is what a B4 engine will do to one of those cheap gliders you can find in the grocery store...

OK, the first one, is our first attempt. Um... too much up elevator you think? Check out the bow in the wings!! Also, that thing came within about a foot of my friend!! lol

Next one... this was perfect... went about 150 feet total. Had a pretty sharp climb straight up, then right back down.

Last one... This one looked freaking awesome on video! I put a bunch of powder from other fireworkds in the end of the engine. It did a loop again, but much larger and more graceful, crashed in the grass just out of view with a nice low sounding thud (due to the ejection charge going off right on impact) to which rose a nice thick white cloud of smoke.


There is another one I forgot to get, that shows a fireball shooting out of the front of the engine as the ejection charge went off in flight... about as thick as the fuselage. Next time...


Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and maybe this can help your cause.
