Hi Randy ,
Oh good! ... this means more pictures ? I used to run one of those Cox®
engine cars with the airplane pusher prop on it. Fun times chasing it around the
parking lots. There are many factors that could have contributed to the
swerving.
I have built rockets that went ..ummm... not up ...and some that went so far we
never found any sign of them and one "mars lander" that only got about 40 feet
off the ground, then crashed amid much smoke. Every launch is an experiment.
Good luck with the next one!!
John

| (...) You gotta love the launches where the rocket goes up a bit, loops over, and plows into the ground, nose-first. *Then* the ejection charge goes off, popping the main section of the rocket out of the ground. Steve (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)
