Which rocket tools should you start with?

[@mikelong3444]

Golden information. Your content is 2nd to none concerning the explanation and education of rocket engine tooling. Thanks

[@micropyro7470]

I have used the 1/4” to lift 3/4” ball shells. I also like to make my tubes a bit longer and put in goodies in the empty space sealed with hot glue.

[@702pyrotweakin9]

Neat. Im glad you uploaded this 'cause I've been debating on what tooling to buy for a while.👍

[@E85_STI]

Hell yeah and back when I started I couldn’t find videos on what to start out with and the actual sizes of rockets. Thank you for watching.

[@garymoore9650]

The 1 pound size refers to old english cannon sizes. A 1 pound ball fits a 3/4 " cannon.,etc.

[@ogboss2195]

Bro can I ask..what ratio you use for your rockets..fast burning mix or slow burning mix?....

[@Smokin_skies]

Very informative video. Wish I would have saw this back when I first started. Anyways I had a question if you dont mind. Have you tried whistle fuel in the cohete? If so, what type of fuel and the ratios did you use. I had my first Whistling cohete to work, but since then, all of the rest have been CATOs. I've been using Benny with copper ocychloride for the catalyst.

[@E85_STI]

Yes I’ve lit some on my channel but I just used the same ratio that I used in the video where I made Benny whistle fuel. I use red iron oxide, paraffin wax and namptha and my rockets don’t Cato but also when you make whistle rockets ensure your fuse doesn’t go inside the core it should only be touching the outside of the fuel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJK5Z4mvqsabiassi=POVdqvIr7Ef2MEfv

[@Smokin_skies]

@@E85_STI right on man thanks for the info!I'll go ahead and try your mix. Have you ever tried waxing the tubes interior? You pour melted wax thru it and coat the walls. I guess that will help prevent catos

[@E85_STI]

@@Smokin_skies I have yes when I make my second stage red flash for the helicopters/buzzbangs but a cato can happen if the mix is too hot or the nozzle is too small. I’ve had a few BP ones do that on my 5/16 rockets but I adjusted the ratio and it went away. I’ve made 1/4 5/16 1/2 5/8 rockets from whistle and all of them worked just fine but I always use the same chems I haven’t tried Sali mix yet

[@Smokin_skies]

@@E85_STI yeah forsure. All of the bp rockets I do are nozzle-less. Right on though. I'm going to go watch your whistle mix vid. Thanks for the help

[@E85_STI]

@@Smokin_skies no problem and I actually like the nozzle less rockets those are pretty nice but I haven’t tried them yet.

[@gabrieloro5971]

Can you tell me the size of the 1/2 and 5/8 to built it. Thanks

[@Theactualcurrentsea]

Not sure if you’re still posting. But nice video and I like someone attempting to explain the heading weight limits a little as most don’t see that and do assumed the 4oz, 1Lb can carry that weight. Question for you as I’m just starting on rockets this week, did my BP runs/tests and now move on. Are you using the manual method or do you have a press?

[@E85_STI]

@@Theactualcurrentsea so I have a 6 ton fireworks press I use it for the black power and my whistle rockets. If you go through my videos you’ll see the press and I use a press to force gauge and a tube support to keep the tube from splitting. You can use a manual Arbor press which I was using initially and it works well. For BP hand ramming is cost effective and works great still

[@davidlake5550]

Hello. I'm really new to this cool Hobbie. What is the difference between nozzle, and nozzless tooling? I'm going to start off building 5/16 rockets. Do I need to purchase 2 different tools to make 5/16 sugar and black powder rockets, or can I use the same tool to make both? Someone please inform me.

[@E85_STI]

No j use the same tools for sugar rockets but the nozzle less is just the composition so it burns the entire inside where as a normal bp rocket uses a clay nozzle and that doesn’t burn but forces the pressure out of the nozzle for its lift. I really like the 5/16 but for sure you can make a sugar rocket with the same tools.

[@davidlake5550]

@E85_STI thank you so much for your information and insight! Another? Nozzless rockets, are the ones that don't have a clay nozzle,? Like candy / liquid rockets? ,, just a hole down through them after they have cooled for awhile,?

[@cocotaco_875]

What is the size of the spindle on 1/2 inch rocket tool and the length of the spindle?

[@ramieltamayo9051]

Hi sir what is the lenght of the tubes?

[@PineyWoodsPyro]

Sold all of my tooling and presses and chemicals. Going to miss building.

[@E85_STI]

No way really? Yeah I haven’t seen you post in a while

[@fuckthegestapo2441]

Devo i liked your content.

[@billbrett365]

I'm doing sugar for now. Thanks for the vid.

[@jacobcarlson4948]

I have a 5/16 set but I think I might upgrade to 1/2 or 5/8. The only problem is I can't find any gummed kraft paper that's wider than 3 inches.

[@E85_STI]

Yeah I noticed all they have is 3 inch. What would you use the tape for if you don’t mind me asking?

[@jacobcarlson4948]

@@E85_STI I use it to roll my own 5/16 tubes. It's a lot cheaper than the NEPT tubes. I figure I could get about 300 out of a 600ft roll for only 15 bucks.

[@E85_STI]

@@jacobcarlson4948 that’s much cheaper for sure especially since we are just throwing the tubes away after.

[@TheWingnut58]

If you guys are "rolling your own" you can use most any kind of paper....even newspaper. Just mix carpenters glue 50/50 or so with water....or a mix of water and alcohol...and get busy rolling, let'em dry and load...

[@papabapyro8169]

@@TheWingnut58 dextrin should work for glue. I believe that’s what the gum of the gummed tape is.

[@mrnk85]

Hey have you tried using whistle fuel on the Super BP tooling?

[@Pyroflorida]

Whistle , all types , and strobe fuel will perform very well on bp tooling.. Since spindle is usually very long disregarding what tooling size it is 4 oz or 1 pound, etc, the secret is 1/ 2 spindle whistle then 1/ 2 strobe , both at at least 7000 psi If only whistle is used best bet is 1/2 spindle sali then 1/2 benzo

[@johndeer9721]

Nice video man I’m enjoying this shit I have fucked up shitty covid and this about all I can do

[@denzouatiro]

how much is your tool kit if i make a purchase to you sir

[@E85_STI]

Well depending on what size tool you want for your rockets I can tell you where to get them

[@denzouatiro]

ok..can you send the link where to get them

[@rdlc3572]

Which rocket size do you recommend for 3 inch shells and 4 inch shells

[@E85_STI]

For the 3 and 4 inch the minimum rocket I would use is a 1 lb. you will want some height for the break.

[@papabapyro8169]

Where is the best place to buy tubes? Thanks

[@hunternedib1119]

woodys rocks

[@kevinduprey9326]

Tooling is easy to make... Other items similar to them work as well- Note paper spike, circle drill bit attachment etc , buy PVC pipe that fit your tool... #2 You don't need a press for whistle rockets under 1in. "C" Clamp or vice is sufficient. So much misinformation on KZbin that discourage newbies. You don't need to spend thousands to get started. Black powder is not needed either... Sugar or whistle easy without a mill.

[@HenrikSherwood]

i started whistle rockets with tubes, chems, tools, press and a force gauge for under $450, it doesn't have to be expensive to get a nice setup but I wouldn't recommend making your own tooling for larger rockets
