The day after the day after the day after the first day

Hey bloggers I’m back, so it turns out that the rocket engines cost a lot so instead of spending heaps of money that I don’t have I got 3 rocket engines which only costed twenty two dollars. And now since I’m using fewer engines I’m only going to use a toilet paper roll as my main rocket shell. But this isn’t a bad thing because I’ve been informed by my friend Jeffery that each rocket engine has an average height of 500 metres. So it would make sense that three rockets could get it to around 1000 meters. The only bad thing is that nearing the end of the rockets blast there is another blast that shoots out the top of the engine deploying a parachute here’s the bad news mine wont have a parachute so the rocket will just blow up. Stay tuned for more exiting news.

The day after the day after the first

Hey bloggers I'm back. So my plan is to get the model rocket angines on the weekend with my fellow blogger jacob beattie. We are going to catch the train there on sunday. I'm getting really exited just think soon i will be making the rocket. Oh and don't worry viewers i wont be within a 20 metre radius of the rocket i will be hiding behind something. That is the good thing about the model rocket engines you can buy remote detonators so you dont have to light it yourself in case of a accident. Untill next time viewers goodbye.

The day after the first day

So i hit a bit of a road block some one said if i use pvc pipe i could blow my face off. So i am now going to make my rocket out of cardboard. Yes cardboard is flammable but I'm not expecting the rocket to land safely. I guess you could call it a suicide mission. Oh and some one said that if i make my own fuel i could end up in hospital. So I'm going to go to the city on the weekend to get some model rocket engines. I am going to get about 12 engines, each engine can reach a average hieght of 200 feet so hopefully i can get this thing air bourne. I am going to put 4 rocket engines in the main rocket and i will put 8 support engines around the main rocket. I am feeling pretty confident now because my new rocket shell will wiegh less making it easier for it to take off. Stay tuned for the next exiting blog.

day 1

Hi my name is sam i have acquired the challenge of building a home made model rocket with the limit of $40 and what evers in my shed. My plan is to make a self guided rocket made out of pvc pipe, scrap metal and ducktape. i will use shreaded sparklers, fuel and the inside of those party poppers as my fuel. The initial plan is for the rocket to actually get airbourne. I'm going to equip the rocket with two thrusters on the side giving it more power and hopefully it will lift off. So far i am just drawing up what i want it to look like and what i will need to make it. One things for sure somethings going to light up.
