Science Abuse Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 It can be powered, in fact, it has to be. The rule simply says it must fly if unpowered. The rule exists to keep people from staging 3 E9's and just shooting them the entire distance. gotta be a plane....ish....thing. You can buy anything you want, I sure as hell aint cooking no engines. Nothing says you have to use rockets, just seems to be the cheapest way of going about it. I found a good place to do tests late at night (11ish), I'll prbably go out there with an airframe or two tonight. All are free to join in.

Rob1647545496 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Austin, i was experimenting last night and set off the one with the carbon mix, it was alot more powerfull the flame was bright white instead of orange. the downside is it burned in 1/2 the time i think i need some kind of plasticizer to slow the burn and aluminum powder so it will burn colder. i don't think we can get a nozzle to hold that much heat.

Science Abuse Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 what kind of material are you using for the nozzle? I'm assuming you're making a Rutan'esque rocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
