Today we're launching a B6-4 engine in super slo mo to see all of the ins and outs of what the actual engine ignition looks like! We were blown away by the ejection charge in particular, and it's a great reminder of why we use recovery wadding to protect that parachute!

Really drives home the point of how important wadding, baffles, and shock cord sleeves are for the survival of the recovery system.
Ton of fire from the ejection charge! Surprised my rockets live for a second launch. Thanks for the heads up on shock cord sleeves
Its a blackpowder charge, wadding is a must you're correct!
Didn't see anything like that when I started out with model rocketry . My first rocket was the Estes Big Bertha using B6-4 motor. I was 14 years old...that was 52 years ago . I no longer have that rocket and the dozen others I once had, but I recently built another Bertha mostly to go with other models I built due to covid lockdown and to bring back a bit of old memories. Along with those Rokr wooden puzzles, scale wooden navel ships and I recently built Estes Mercury Redstone Liberty Bell and the next will be a Gemini Titan kit. I was planning on making these rockets launch ready but didn't really plan on launching until I saw your plans for a controller. This bringing the kid back in this old man.
I’m surprised how many things were happening in that small few seconds when it ignited
Right?? Same for us.
Good reason to use chute wadding.
That ejection charge makes a strong case for kevlar. No wonder i lost so many chutes and birds back in the '70s.
I'd to see a side-by-side of 2 boosters, same burn time, bu in different classes.
Awesome! Tho how would my wadding even survive the flame 🔥
Crazy right?? That's why you need your wadding to be self-extinguishing instead of just any piece of paper. The slo-mo video really puts it into perspective.
Miss you dude where have you been
I'm surprised that you only have 500 subscribers but put a lot of effort in your videos. Good luck trying to grow your channel!
Thank you. Slowly but surely!
Earned my sub when he said homemade launch controller🚀🧐🥰
Testing with these rocket motors I’ve found humidity has a huge factor on the amount of sparks as pieces of burning debris that fly out
The cutey rocket
Why have you stopped posting?
Great stuff!
I built some sugar rockets and tested them. Filmed in slow motion was fun for the whole family
Do you have them posted?!
@@themodelrocket220
Oh no. Never posted a video in my life
@@brittlanders351 Well if you ever do tag us in it. I love a good slow motion rocket video
No new Videos Anymore? :(
I did launch for the first time today without wadding. now I see why the parachute got cooked. Later I stuffed the wadding too tight and buried itself in somebody's lawn. I had a great time.
Why dont you make videos . Come on give us some more videos
Come back upload please
hey m8 what happened to your channel?
Never knew the ejection charge was that violent lol
I remember doing a static test of an A10-3T buried in sand as a kid, the ejection charge made a loud bang and left a crater.
In slow motion this thing looks like a god damn liquid fueled engine...Great video again!
Right?? I know, we were blown away slowing it down. The ejection charge was the highlight for us. Use wadding!!
did you quit
Do an E motor in slow mo
We had to return our slo-mo camera 😭
@@themodelrocket220 noooooo
you want sparks?? Do a video with a Cesaroni "skidmark" motor.....you will have sparks
