Hi Fred,

I would like to know if you finally managed to use powder rockets on your Opel Rak, and how you calculated their power regarding the weight and drag of your model... I am looking forward another project quite similar...

A+

Howdy Mat'

Nope, only did a test of the pod with 4 rockets, but on static, not in the glider (just in case!) and never went to test in flight! (even if I finally managed to find a system to fire the rockets remotely  :D )
For the weight ratio etc, no ideas! I go with the noise and smoke, like the real one (that ended up in flame after a 15 seconds flight...)
Sound like a fun project for next April!!  :D

Fred - Crash and burn... Litteraly!  :D

mat2verre:
Ok, so maybe you could tell me which rocket you choose to make noise & smoke???  :lol:   And where did you find it??? I am really a beginner in this kind of motor/engine...

A+

Fred:
Hey Mat,

Does that mean you have a project that involve flames, noise, smoke, and hopefully a big bang?  :D  :D
