Rocketry
A dedicated page for a collection of media of my rocketry hobby.
I like crafting these small rockets and flying them is fun.
7. Anti-ahh reborn
I took what was left of of the 5th rocket, made it shorter and gave it a new look with aggressive fins. Same nosecone, same engine block.
6. 2 motors and 2 diameters
A fun rocket and a quick build over a weekend. This was my first rocket with two different body tube sizes and a transition between. 2 motor cluster that flies great with klima A and B motors. Made from a paper towel roll and a leftover 26mm body tube I had. Flies very well.
- Length: 57cm
- Diameter: 46mm and 26mm
- Materials: cardboard and PLA
- Motors: 2x Klima B4-4 or A6-5
5. Anti-Ahh-125
My first attempt at building a little bigger rocket. Made from two 50mm diameter cardboard tubes and a 3D-printed nosecone that is 25cm long this airframe had total length of 125cm.
This rocket crashed on it’s first flight as the parachute failed to open. This was caused possibly because I was unaware that two joined 50mm tubes have so much volume in them that the opening charges from small 18mm motors might not be enough to open the recovery mechanism. The fact that one motor failed to fire the ejection charge didn’t help much.
Think I might reuse parts of this again and build another one of these as I like the design.
- Length: 125cm
- Diameter: 50mm
- Materials: cardboard and PLA
- Motors: 3x Klima C6-5
4. 23cm pocket rocket
A very small rocket I built to fly something fun with A-class motors I had a bunch.
- Length: 23cm
- Diameter: 26mm
- Materials: Cardboard and PLA
- Motors: Klima A
2. & 3. Orange twins
I made two of these, identical orange rockets with 3D-printed nose cones, fins and centering rings.
- Length: 70cm
- Diameter: 40mm
- Materials: Cardboard and PLA
- Motors: These are flown with Klima B and C motors.
1. Duct tape tube
The first rocket I built in a long time, made from two paper towel rolls and plywood fins. I didn’t have time to paint this one so I opted for a faster variant.
Flies with Klima B and C motors.
