Escape Water Rockets: I'm back
http://sneak243.blogspot.com/2013/10/im-back.html
Tuesday, 15 October 2013. Its been much too long since I've posted anything or made any progress with this hobby (or any of my hobbies for that matter! Work and a few life hurdles threw themselves in my path over the past couple of years so for that I apologise. I am here to STAY this time =D! The plan for the next few weeks are to dig everything out and take a stock check of what is ok and what will need remaking or repairing.

Escape Water Rockets: Quick catch up
http://sneak243.blogspot.com/2013/10/quick-catch-up.html
Wednesday, 23 October 2013. After having a sift though all that I still have laying around I'm quite pleased to say not a lot has changed in its state of usability. The Parachute Deployment System is all still intact (apart from obviously needing a new battery) =D. The Launch Pad is in exactly the same state as previously described a year or so ago so this is the first item to be sorted on the agenda. I must still glue in a bottle cap to the 15mm nozzle piece to create the new larger nozzle.

Wednesday, 16 November 2011. Stratum I) Plus a few odd's and end's. As mentioned previously I have been working on our first series of rockets to use multiple spliced pairs joined with tornado couplings. I have just finished making the fin set we are to use on this series, which in this case was the last piece of the puzzle and the rocket is now complete. All the rockets STATS are displayed in the Visio drawing below:. I have now started the Blog I mentioned previously about a traction engine build if an...

Escape Water Rockets: Launcher Update: Release Head Attachment Piece
http://sneak243.blogspot.com/2012/06/launcher-update-release-head-attachment.html
Thursday, 14 June 2012. Launcher Update: Release Head Attachment Piece. I have been working on updating the launcher for a while now but only recently taken any action. Couple of reasons for update:. 1 A more robust air delivery system within the launcher (In this case copper pipe in place of hosepipe). 2 Interchangeable release heads for different size nozzles. 3 Launcher base needs a re-paint in places of increased wear. 4 Possible addition of a lever to make pulling the release head easier. A few othe...

Thursday, 2 June 2011. Unfortunately my old PC has finally kicked the bucket meaning I've lost alot of films and data, this is also the reason i haven't posted in a while, so I'm having to sort of catch up with where i am with my blog and where others are with there's. With a heat wave supposedly approaching I'm itching to get the fleet ready for some intense testing and flights. I am liking the progress others have made and am glad to be back on the news feed with the new PC :). Thursday, June 02, 2011.

Escape Water Rockets: March 2011
http://sneak243.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 10 March 2011. I realised i have never explained or run through the workings of our Parachute Deploy System so here it is. :) Also in the Video I forgot to mention using the transmiter and reciver allows for expantion of up to 3 servos to do more. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Tuesday, 8 March 2011. Today the asymmetrical splice was tested :). The above pictures show the point of failure after the tape was split at 185psi. Things i taking away from this test are:. Put less glue on the splice joins.
