Building a FLYING BANANA Model Rocket!

Building a FLYING BANANA Model Rocket!
Glad you were wearing protective breather mask.
Very cool ... was the banana rocket fabricated from a mop bucket? (I'll have to watch TBR 1.0 to find out mo' info - as a Subscriber!) Amazing what folks can do now with 3D printing. Congrats & Happy New Year 2025.
Hi Taylor, what weight glass did you use from Soller Composites ? More than one layer ? Did you leave the tip washer and nut on ? Curious how you finished off the tip, more foam glued on ?
I started making nose cones a few years ago and when I first started I just used expanding foam in an 8 inch cardboard concrete form tube to make a cylinder and then shaped it from there. I just 3D print a mold and make a fiberglass nose now because I’m lazy 😅
You’re at 1000 subs now 🎉🎉🎉!!
For HED when space is a problem I use like 2 3' SC's, one for the main and one for the NC, saves allot of room.
Please fly it bro I am very excited ☺️
So mad I didn’t grab one of these when they were on sale.
Great replacement! Smokin Fast!!!! (y)
Very nice Taylor ........ I want one now !! Although I love the story of your AMRAAM (Not the ballistic crash part) You have inspired me to maybe build a thin wall fiberglass version of my life long favorite: Estes "The Shadow"
That thing turned out amazing.
Cool rocket :)
I love that little rocket. I got one the same sale and went from flying small h motors in it to my first i motor. The I motor was old and burned the delay on the pad so it got about 1000 feet and then the chute popped and gave me a nasty zipper.
This video would have been so boring without Macho Matt
The coolest thing to happen before GTA 6

Great job, Taylor! I'm sure everything will work out next time.
What fuel did you use?
where did you find custom fins?
The rocket you built flies very smoothly, which is impressive! I’m curious, though-what type of motor are you using? Do you use a sugar motor with a mixture of potassium nitrate and sugar, or do you use something else? I’d appreciate it if you could let me know!
Ammonium perchlorate composite propellant.
Was that Arcas fin shape you used? Looks similar. Are those better stability than long thin tapered fins?
Yea Arcas fins. Not better for stability, but easy to cut and gets surprisingly good performance.
Great job, Taylor!! Will you be heading down to Thunder Struck to fly this year? I am planning on making it down; only a week after MWP. Hoping to get a few up into the high 20's......Punisher 3, 4 fins, no MMT (min diameter) is pretty much complete and hope to fly it on an M1297. We shall see! I like your method of securing the motor with a bulk plate and making the space between the two the location for the electronics. I assume you used an RDF for tracking?
I unfortunately won’t make it to thunder struck this year. Those flights should be awesome! I used featherweight GPS for the first time on this flight. I had RF tracking as well, but the antenna actually was ripped off so I’m glad I had GPS!
@@the_rocketchannel I meant Distant Thunder. DOH!!!! Indiana and Kansas are totally different locations!!! lol
😂 yes I’ll be at distant thunder!
@@the_rocketchannel Thaaaaaats better!
Man, you were really locked-in on this build!
Gotta be locked in! 😂
M685 md goes HARD!!! Cool to see the build and how you did the fins.
I've been very pleased with the Loctite E-60HP. The E120-HP wasn't viscous enough and ended up in unexpected places.
It didn’t occur to me when I bought it that longer cure time would equal lower viscosity lol I’m still learning!
@@the_rocketchannel I ordered some of the infinity bond epoxy to try out. Much cheaper than the loctite!!
How did you find using the easy mini compared to the stratologger?
It was just as simple as the stratologger. The only downside is having to hook it up to the computer to change settings, but operations are great. I would be buying more of them, but the new Featherweight Blue Jay is going to be the perfect altimeter I think.
Those 41 minutes of setup time on the epoxy would be great in a vacuum chamber smdh
You are talking to the guy that is still using foam board fin guides lmao
How high would it have flown if it was a two-stager?
Too many variables, but presumably a LOT higher lol
No pressure.... rather encouragement. You should think about posting more videos. Many of us could learn so much from you!
Greetings gentlemen 🙏. Until we meet again in 2028😂
This is the type of content that Braden used to make. Love it! Also, Macho Matt is a great cameraman😂
Bad ass video!!!!
Just the tip.
That nosecone looks fantastic! This time, the nosecone looks to be much more structurally solid. Just by watching this build as compared to the last nosecone build, I have far more confidence in this one lasting quite a long time. Well Done!!! I will say that I would have loved to see how the fiberglass got laid over and the epoxy resin was applied to the nosecone without the fiberglass getting wrinkled or kinked. 💯A+ craftmanship
Thanks! I have no doubt this nosecone will last the life of the rocket. Learned a lot on the first one. I used a Soller Composites fiberglass sleeve to glass it. A 9” diameter as small as it would go and then overlapped with a 3” sleeve toward the tip.
Great video - can’t wait to see what you do in 2025 😂
Not building anymore Arcas nosecones! 😂
Looking forward to more videos 👍
Better late than never. Looking forward to more content
Looks really nice and stronger than the last one. I hear the cicadas showing up.
Ah yes the Krabby Patty Secret formula is mine at last
That is a bad ass upscale !!!
Perhaps it was not Grade 8 all thread ??
I think that would be an understatement lol
Why didn't the fiberglass cone extend over the coupler? I mean, I'm not seeing adhesive on the coupler. It looks clean.
Taylor, How did you set up your avionics bay? Did you use threaded rods and a deck? What types of switches did you use and what was their placement? (Are there markings on the Ebay end plates suggested to be used for any threaded rods? Thanks! Ed
Sorry, I’ve been absent from RUclips for a bit! I build my rockets with a single 1/4” threaded rod. I mount my electronics on a sled that fits in a 3” an bay that way I can put the sane sled in and rocket 3” or larger. I use the twist and tape method for my switches. Switch wires coming out of one of the vent holes. The marks that come on the bulkplates are what a lot of people use for allthread spacing, I’m just not a fan of that method.
I think you guys did a great job on the nose cone and I was there when this rocket was launched. Awesome. I also make large nose cones but I use 1 1/2" straight dowel rod and seems to keep my nose together. Just a suggestion. You guys rock!
I thought about going to a similar sized dowel for the rebuild, but ended up going with a glassed phenolic tube in the center for the new nosecone!
Why did you get rid of the decal? Seems you could have worked around that.
The fin decal came too close to the fillet on the forward end. I am planning on replacing the decal after I touch up paint.
Longer rockets are for longer motors... Regarding rocket shipping/transport, had a team from the Middle East cut their 6" x 10' rocket into 4 pieces and the nose cone to fit in each team member's luggage and no problem. Unfortunately, what problems you encounter at airports are often what TSA people you get.
I’m just finishing my Punisher and going to ground test it. What size charge should I start off with?
Bro? I was excited when i found this channel, then you go MIA, wtf? Anyways, dont worrya bout life problems, leave all that to the side and do what you love, we'll be here watching you. Thanks for all the vids, new subscriber here
I wouldn’t call them life problems, but just busy with multiple hobbies, selling a house, trying to have a social life etc! I’be got a ton of footage, just need to edit!
Thanks for the tip -- any fiberglass rocket or any rocket of significant mass I would put in duel internal fillets. Fillets on the root and fillets on the inside of the tube where it meets the fin!! & really rough it up!! & then ALSO maybe a smaller fillet on the outside just for cosmetic purposes... see if that shit breaks!! Hehe 😁 Oh yea I laughed my ass off when u fumbled the fin dude! Ahahahah!
I usually do internal fillets on bigger rockets, but I was trying to keep the weight down on this build, so I opted not to do it lol
@@the_rocketchannel ahahahah
Nigel!
