We were SHOCKED by this Model Rocket Engine in Super Slo Mo (1/40 Speed)

[@bluewater82]

Really drives home the point of how important wadding, baffles, and shock cord sleeves are for the survival of the recovery system.

[@jonc1901]

Ton of fire from the ejection charge! Surprised my rockets live for a second launch. Thanks for the heads up on shock cord sleeves

[@sunburnRohman]

Didn't see anything like that when I started out with model rocketry . My first rocket was the Estes Big Bertha using B6-4 motor. I was 14 years old...that was 52 years ago . I no longer have that rocket and the dozen others I once had, but I recently built another Bertha mostly to go with other models I built due to covid lockdown and to bring back a bit of old memories. Along with those Rokr wooden puzzles, scale wooden navel ships and I recently built Estes Mercury Redstone Liberty Bell and the next will be a Gemini Titan kit. I was planning on making these rockets launch ready but didn't really plan on launching until I saw your plans for a controller. This bringing the kid back in this old man.

Good reason to use chute wadding.

[@TheChessNoob1]

Miss you dude where have you been

[@naman_pham]

I’m surprised how many things were happening in that small few seconds when it ignited

[@themodelrocket220]

Right?? Same for us.

[@KingLordLele]

Why have you stopped posting?

[@MrAudioBill]

That ejection charge makes a strong case for kevlar. No wonder i lost so many chutes and birds back in the '70s. I'd to see a side-by-side of 2 boosters, same burn time, bu in different classes.

I'm surprised that you only have 500 subscribers but put a lot of effort in your videos. Good luck trying to grow your channel!

[@themodelrocket220]

Thank you. Slowly but surely!

[@mikelang9085]

No new Videos Anymore? :(

[@michaelbozung1794]

Its a blackpowder charge, wadding is a must you're correct!

[@gopalverma25015]

Awesome! Tho how would my wadding even survive the flame 🔥

[@themodelrocket220]

Crazy right?? That's why you need your wadding to be self-extinguishing instead of just any piece of paper. The slo-mo video really puts it into perspective.

[@litmusaero2645]

Earned my sub when he said homemade launch controller🚀🧐🥰

[@toothlesszilla9982]

The cutey rocket

[@milladazadi]

Why dont you make videos . Come on give us some more videos

[@oogityboogity6644]

Testing with these rocket motors I’ve found humidity has a huge factor on the amount of sparks as pieces of burning debris that fly out

[@brittlanders351]

Great stuff! I built some sugar rockets and tested them. Filmed in slow motion was fun for the whole family

[@themodelrocket220]

Do you have them posted?!

[@brittlanders351]

@@themodelrocket220 Oh no. Never posted a video in my life

[@themodelrocket220]

@@brittlanders351 Well if you ever do tag us in it. I love a good slow motion rocket video

[@peterhub1]

I did launch for the first time today without wadding. now I see why the parachute got cooked. Later I stuffed the wadding too tight and buried itself in somebody's lawn. I had a great time.

[@Minutemman]

hey m8 what happened to your channel?

[@suhaansuneja1827]

Come back upload please

[@quinncoop]

did you quit

[@mattbehrens6557]

why can't you make more videos

[@mr.mustang6571]

In slow motion this thing looks like a god damn liquid fueled engine...Great video again!

[@themodelrocket220]

Right?? I know, we were blown away slowing it down. The ejection charge was the highlight for us. Use wadding!!

[@karenma8072]

Never knew the ejection charge was that violent lol

[@themadscientest]

I remember doing a static test of an A10-3T buried in sand as a kid, the ejection charge made a loud bang and left a crater.

[@mikegriego3671]

Do an E motor in slow mo

We had to return our slo-mo camera 😭
