Small rocket

[jdurand]

I made this a while back. In the background is a carnival attraction all folded up, we were rebuilding it at the same time as making the rocket. Our neighbors decided we weren't normal.





I haven't found pictures of that one being launched, may be on video tape. It broke the sound barrier about 1 second after launch, right at engine burnout (40 pounds of fuel in 1 second).

Here's a bigger rocket that would have been fine only someone "helped" with the ejection mechanism and the parachute didn't completely deploy.
