[@woodster1119]

For those bigger rockets your issue was not predictability or lift but the pitching moment induced on the CG due to the fact that your thrust line isn't centered. For the smaller motors the horizontal stabilizer is able to counteract the pitch well enough but at the higher thrusts the force turning the aircraft's pitch was too great. This is why when the larger motors were on top the aircraft pitched down rapidly and why when they were below the aircraft pitched up and looped! I think you should give it another shot with the big motors (maybe not the homemade sugar bomb-- I mean motors) but put the motors closer to the center of gravity and they might do better, or maybe the thrust is just too great even without the pitching moment. Either way, there is a lot to learn and science to do for a video! Keep up the good work!

[@TheBackyardScientist]

Thanks for the insightful comment! Remember, I was still trying to use a camera, that makes balancing the plane a little bit trickier. As the Rockets burned they would lose mass altering the center of gravity. I totally agree about the angle of thrust though, but duct taped wasn't enough to perfectly aligned the engines, they had so much force they could stretch the table just a few degrees and that would cause erratic behavior of the plane :/ ps LOL about the sugar bombs! I made my motors based on the king of random's tutorial, maybe he was just trying to eliminate the competition ;)

3:47 wow that's a cool throw😍😍😍

[@MonteFleming]

You probably figured this out already, but when the engines ejected from the housing, it threw off the center of gravity. You could fix this by using booster engines (no ejection charge). Also, as the engines get bigger, the tolerances get smaller, making it difficult to build good F and higher engines at home. I finally got some Gs to work after blowing many of them up, but I had to mix epoxy into the nozzles and end caps (clay alone wouldn't work--I don't have an arbor press) and experiment with half a dozen nozzle diameters (even a 64th of an inch can make a big difference).

[@TheBackyardScientist]

Great comment. The center of gravity issue goes beyond the ejection charge. Half of my b and c engines were boosters. The Rockets also lose mass as they burn changing the center of gravity, and in the case of a D or E engine that could be a couple ounces lost. The sugar rockets I made were built to F class specs, and I totally agree that the clay nozzles have to be absolutely perfect or you can blow them out from overpressure (or sub par thrust). I thought about making epoxy end caps, but then the motor failure might be an actual explosion rather than just blowing out the end cap. I stuck with Clay nozzles because I don't have that much experience building rocket engines. I've had good success with sugar rockets in the past, but maybe I didn't hammer them enough, or there was something wrong with my mixture or clay, because literally all 12 Rockets failed.

[@MonteFleming]

Yeah, I blew up several engine casings in testing. Another problem is that as the PVC heats up under pressure, the epoxy end cap or nozzle can shoot out like a large, soft, but nonetheless destructive bullet. So you really have to scour some deep grooves into the PVC where it contacts the end cap, or find some other secure way of attaching it all together. I also found out the hard way that small differences in the moisture content of the rocket fuel effect the burn rate significantly. So if you build an engine using certain specs and let it sit for a couple of days, and it works fine, and then you build another using the same specs and launch it on the same day, it may blow out the end cap. Thanks for the great video!

[@Frost_bite-nv2vr]

That was awsome its like it where to go 2:55

[@KingInky13]

Cool video, but I have a few suggestions for a possible re-do. 1.) It looks like the engine mount on top of the plane is pointed at a downward angle with respect to the body line. This is why the planes tend to nose-dive as soon as the engine goes off. Vice versa for why it flew upward once you moved the mount from the top to the bottom. 2.) Your sugar engines seemed to be an incorrect mixture. There's no way they should have been that weak. 3.) Instead of throwing the planes, why not use the rocket launch stand at an angle? That would allow for a more consistent launch to compare to rather than adding a human element. This would also allow you to hook up the electronic ignitions rather than using those fuses. Additionally, you could even try mounting an engine under each wing and re-wiring the launch controller to ignite both simultaneously for an extra experiment. This is the first video I've seen of yours and you've got a new sub! Pretty excited to see what else you've got!

[@blizzy78]

For 1) It doesn't have to be mounted on a down/upward angle. Mounting in a way such that the thrust vector is not going through the center of mass is enough to make it nosedive or loop.

[@KingInky13]

blizzy1978 Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're both saying the same thing here. I was pointing out that it was mounted on an angle when it shouldn't be, and should be mounted parallel to the body line (so it would thrust through the center of mass). Cheers!

[@TimeChanger103]

blizzy1978 -

[@julianwaters3946]

Since the thrust line is counter to the natural angle of attack of the wing the aircraft behaves initially nose heavy when the rocket fires. However, with increased speed the minor correctiveness of the fixed elevator becomes more influential on the aircraft attitude and thus counters the down thrust.

use an electronic igniter. or better yet, make a cavity in the rear of the plane and insert the rocket there.

[@hermanportoreal7526]

飞龙在天 I don't think that would work because rocket motors might burn the wings

[@fwuushy]

but not the body?

[@SuperCookieGaming_]

You should find the center of mass, lift and trust. This way the plane won't be unstable in flight

[@mattsnyder4754]

You're assuming those are even remotely constant on a styrofoam glider? This isn't KSP, it's not that simple

[@王奕谌]

YEAH, try play some Kerbal Space Program, you'll get used to it

[@alvincay100]

There is a reason real airplanes have control surfaces.

[@slothFPV]

Centre of lift is 1/3 back from the leading edge of the wing. Centre of mass should be just in front of COL and thrust can be done by eye and common sense

[@teslatrooper]

Yeah this is more like backyard bored dude with too much time+money on his hands. Zero science (or engineering which would be more useful in this case). Kind of disappointing, I'm sure he could have gotten some good airtime with a little more research and planning.

[@maehenderson2100]

I don't know why, but the shots of the Go Pro made me feel a beautiful sense of freedom.

Two minutes in, already 5 dislikes, those haters.....

You can almost taste the salt from here

lol

[@gracelocasto2460]

Shut up

[@taffox3566]

it'd be cool if you added a parachute to that!! :)

[@colinbowman9708]

randotaf why?

[@taffox3566]

Colin Bowman so it doesn't smash into the ground

[@crackwb49]

randotaf true

[@fbi5745]

Ikr

[@agentmcfarts3169]

randotaf great idea

[@benjaminmaniac1745]

try it with Roman candles, it might be more dangerous but I think it shooting the flaming balls will cause it to fly longer and further!

[@benjaminmaniac1745]

oh, thanks dude!!

[@euanbunting735]

Benjamin Maniac fireworks

[@jurgenmouw9986]

in the dark it will look funny :)

[@ordicy3416]

I remember watching this video the week it came out, time passes by so fast.

[@X-Gen-001]

Not sure why but that was incredibly fun to watch lol.

[@tntdoezgaming1191]

2:31 Houston, we have a problem.

[@watericesalt5798]

Add a rocket to a remote control plane, you can launch the plane in to the air, then rocket it, just my opinion I think it would look cool. Btw love your channel.

[@warmiceUT]

This sound like the Durafly ME 163 by HobbyKing

[@watericesalt5798]

Warm Ice never heard of it

[@Syclone0044]

Estes had one of these about 15-20 years ago. Really a slick kit.

[@TRMXtram]

0:08 you know what makes every thing better rockets. all right before we start duck taping rocket engines to Styrofoam planes. -thebackyardscientist

[@tariq5027]

“We’re not aiming for the truck”

[@Marinabalagot2010]

4:21 legit looks like an interstellar scene, Such as reentry!

[@hintzofcolorconcepts]

Launch the ones with larger engines from a weather balloon to avoid aerodynamic issues since it mostly vacuum at 100,000 feet. The rocket plane might make it into space before gliding back to the surface if you attach enough small engines

[@Thewaterspirit57]

Seeing this, is making me wanna go get one, and just fly one for hours XP

[@kylooooo11]

3:30 the plane popped up on the background

[@zorbominecraftanimation2620]

O

[@jenny8110lim]

I see it

[@suyapacobos4179]

I know that was awesome

[@lingmellac]

Deserve the best idea you ever made

[@sammvoyager]

Try making ailerons to make it turn in 1 direction by cutting the foam on the trailing edges of the L&R wings. I saw this done on a Dude Perfect vid. Can do the same to create Elevator surface to make the plane go up a little.

[@rocklover48]

by far his best video! Love it!

[@skirmish9245]

This video calms me down 😇
