That's like an inverted lightning strike. The fact that it held together is a testament to your skills and ability to design and fabricate a solid piece of equipment. Fine work!
Thanks for explaining the process! Not many RUclips-ers give this much detail. It really helped to understand what was happening on video as well as what goes into making these flights look easy to us novices. Kudos! 👍🙌
That has to be one of the most impressive launches I’ve seen! I know these camera views just can’t do this justice. I bet this thing shook the earth on launch! Excellent video
Oh my, Skippy. THAT, is one amazing sound and a sound achievement. I felt the same rush with my big dog, a 4" DX-3 w/ 0.7 sec burn and 13 sec coast to 1200'. BIG deal to me, but 25.5k' of coast is incredible. I would enjoy some one-on-one discussion time with my rocketry club about this project if we could arrange it.
Hi Gerald! You are a true engineer! Very impressive design and build. Equally impressive flight! Hats off to you! Did you fabricate the aluminium parts yourself? Or did you get them made at a shop?
WHAT A GOOD IDEA!!! Using a vacum bag to remove the air from the chute, thats something ive not heard of before. I'm going to use that on my A/B/C/D record attempts to fit the chute in an even smaller space! thank you sir!
Very interesting. Wasn’t aware seven years ago Tripoli was allowing all aluminum airframes. Alex Pavlik just finally got the go ahead to fly at Balls this year and he’s been trying for a while.
That launch was FAST! When I think of historic rockets of this size and larger I think of things like Nike-AJAX, Honest John, various sounding rockets. I've never seen one launch but I assume they launch that fast too, maybe faster. Regarding fins I've seen a few rockets in museums that used similar brackets to bolt to the fins and then bolt to the airframe. Overall a well planned awesome build and excellent flight.
Don't know if you will see this but I am building a 6'' Rocket as well and I happened to run across your video. Can you send your blueprints? What Fuel did you use?
Hey, question, I hope you get this! I’m using the entacore aim 3.0 and I was curious if you’re running a Yagi on the aimbase or just just using the rubber antennas. I’m no where near the altitude that you are achieving I’m just don’t want to lose the rocket if it drifts more then a couple of miles out of line of sight. Thanks Chris
how long did it take you to construct that rocket?I do rockets but on a much smaller scale,what an awesome thing to see.I hope one day I get good enough for something even half that size,great job sir
Why did it burn out at 500ft, which reduces the speed? Because you design so it burns out and not constant at a higher level at the same speed as it goes from start to end, well, in your desire height as an end, then slow down. So, you design for 500ft, then slowly went further and goes down because the air pressure or you make it go down at certain feet?
@@Businessonly752 So, the brake didn't work?? And so what reduces the speed? The accelerating base on an example of 50 mph, per one mile each, so 2 miles later, is 100 mph, 3 miles later is 150, and so on.
Faster than that considering that drag was all that was there to slow it down to that average. So at least 7000 mph at max speed before dropping fast. 71Gs = 71(9.8m/s/s) which means it was accelerating at over 600 m/s, per second. At 10-11 seconds throttle was cut. The numbers coming from this are ridiculous but still atmospheric drag had a big effect on slowing it down.
holy shit !!! what did you use as a binder !! nitro fucking glycerin or something geez !!!! iv never even seen a military rocket take off that fast !! what was that like 300 Gs lol
Excellent video, fantastic build and Awsome fabrication!!! Only thing better would be two stage to get into space!! Can you build one to put my ex girlfriend into? No Parachute required!! Lol.

jesus christ thats the most impressive rocket i ever seen. what a fantastic acceleration!!
Honestly... I still can't get over that sound. Definitely one of my favorite videos.
Holy shiiit 71G!, thanks for taking the time to talk about the specs of the rocket and flight!
you can easily pull out 230+ G on a I1299
Almost 10 years later and I’m still impressed.
One of the best rocket launches in the history or model rocketry. You are da man
This never gets old
Thanks for explaining the process! Not many RUclips-ers give this much detail. It really helped to understand what was happening on video as well as what goes into making these flights look easy to us novices. Kudos! 👍🙌
That was amazing! 71 g's. Great video.. Greetings from Arizona.
I have this huge grin plastered on my face from the sound of that motor.
boonbVSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Motor burned out and the rocket coasted to 30,000 feet"
Just... wow. That was some engineering for it not to disintegrate with that kind of kick!
That has to be one of the most impressive launches I’ve seen! I know these camera views just can’t do this justice. I bet this thing shook the earth on launch! Excellent video
DUDE.....YOU ROCK the Rocket!!!! Great Job hope to see more from you!!! I thought she blew on the pad in the first view of the Launch...WOW!!!
Oh my, Skippy.

Very nice flight and great detailed commentary. Wow that was pulling some G's!
Wow!! That thing just Exploded off the pad!! Incredible Rocket - awesome job dude!!!
A boosted dart on top of that would easily break 100k, maybe even 150k. Sick flight.
Hi Gerald! You are a true engineer! Very impressive design and build. Equally impressive flight! Hats off to you! Did you fabricate the aluminium parts yourself? Or did you get them made at a shop?
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed your side by side technicals.
Solid! You are the ROCKETMAN!!

Wow! That looked like a military rocket!
500 feet at burnout? Looks higher. Either way, I was like "GET SOME!!!!!!!".
Thanks for your information and the time you put into this rocket. I'm glad that your not of the party that hides the information. Thanks again
Incredible...great build and lauch.
I almost pee'd a lil when it took off, lol. That's some impressive acceleration, congrats!
Nice! 6”!!
Absolutely fantastic. Congradulations on your impressive accomplishments
Beautiful and scary! 100 g? Holy crap. Chunky salsa Astronauts!
Awesome Takeoff - Awesome Flight !!
What’s the price on something like that ???

WHAT A TAKE OFF MY FRIEND, IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY
Loved the sound of that combo
What sort of ignitor is used in these motors? Copper thermite? Pretty fast ignition. Excellent flight and video by the way!
That is Vmax fuel, known for an incredible burst of energy in a very short time span
That was acceleration! Superfast rocket! Nice!
Spectacular ! Well done 👍
coasted 25,500'.. holy crap! Great job man. That thing is impressive.
Wow. Lovely flight, and a great breakdown, thank you.
Don't know if you will see this but I am building a 6'' Rocket as well and I happened to run across your video. Can you send your blueprints? What Fuel did you use?
everything was great, the launch was like jaw dropping
Awesome flight man.
Congrat's on a great flight Adventure!
What a great clip! Thank you for posting this!
I know this doesn't say it right, but "Wow, that took off like a rocket"! Nice job.
That was epic. I hope I get to meet you at a launch some day
Ridiculous, awesome!
Puts my amateur ass to shame!!

Great rocket! Any figures for acceleration/max velocity?
Holy shit, that thing's an ICBM
Hello. Please write the fuel combos that you use for the missile and explain how you combined. Thank you very much if you answer my question.
how long did it take you to construct that rocket?I do rockets but on a much smaller scale,what an awesome thing to see.I hope one day I get good enough for something even half that size,great job sir
This is such a awesome video! I have dreams about doing half of that! Very inspirational =) Thank you
30,000 ft in 36s. Thats close to 6 miles. My mind is blown.
And only about 500ft of that was powered.
Subscribed! _ Awesome clip dude, thanks for sharing it and sharing the details - nice work!

He was designing for acceleration, not height

wow incredible flight..incredible explanation..incredible all round
Nice. Have you seen drones? With a few tweaks they can fly over 30,000 feet. A Russian hobbyist just flew a drone to over 40,000 feet above sea level.
Paul L. Drones are for bitches, this is a real mans hobby. Besides, high power rockets have already been over 100,000ft.
👍👍👍💥💥💥
5773mph if I'm correct to make 30000ft in 36sec

Good job.
Well done sir, we'll done!
What was the maximum speed ?
my goodness... what did they use in rocket motor ???
a CTI O25000, it uses ammonium perchlorate composite propellant similar to that used in the space shuttle boosters.
really ... man that's great....... can we make such a rocket and send it to space .... is that possible ..... i mean the way these guys did...?
With Proper Certification yes
Very impressive.
Well done ! Loved it!
That thing is fucking CRAZY! Love it, really inspiring!
holy shit !!! what did you use as a binder !! nitro fucking glycerin or something geez !!!! iv never even seen a military rocket take off that fast !! what was that like 300 Gs lol
70 and its actually 90 micron AP mixed with a binder and aluminium
Am I confused? Is he saying the rocket motor only provides trust to 500 ft then no thrust to 30 thousand??
Maaannn you guys have to make something that goes more higher! By the way that was Super!
nice flight
That's one hell of a hammer hit.
Pretty sweet.
Very nice!
Wow, do I understand right that the motor only burnt < 1.5 seconds? Hard to grasp, given the Max altitude, so impressive
How much for the motor ?
It would be very expensive the motor is probably like 10k. Ive flown an N10,000 and that is like 5000 dollars.
025000 runs at $3500 usd
That rocket just f*cks off
Well done.
Well done
Very nice
Sorry to be tardy. First time I've seen this, Well done sir. Anthony Cesaroni.
Amazing 😎
that's an very powerfull rocket motor you got there,
very cool,
So whtas next ? an Q40,000 ?
maybe a P54000
impressive flight!
awesome!
Fantastic!
You are one awesome man
Now that's some serious boost!
Outstanding.
Your the man
1000ft/sec!!!! Crazy!
It was the initial roar that gave me goosebumps 👌
Had a bwoop like the titan cartridge
holy crap very nice
Just needs eurobeat
That's amazing!
That rocket Is on steroids
Excellent video, fantastic build and Awsome fabrication!!! Only thing better would be two stage to get into space!! Can you build one to put my ex girlfriend into? No Parachute required!! Lol.
Wow!!!!! :O
Why do they punch the launch button over and over again really fast that is very annoying....on video...
