George clearly explains these processes, and with brevity, better than anyone... And here we thought Aussies just chase down snakes, wrangle kangaroos and cuddle Koalas...

Hi Bolivar, the tube is called a "jet foaming spacer" it helps create an air pocket in the lower bottle so that foam can be produced during flight. Without the tube all the water from the top bottle can drain into the lower bottle while the rocket sits on the pad. We have more details on our website (see day#105 flight report)

Another good question. The bottom rail button is taped in place permanently. The upper one is either taped onto the pressure chamber after the rocket is assembled, or it is attached to the fairing and can be rotated into place to align it. The fairing is then just taped to the bottle to stop it rotating.

It triggers the on-board parachute deployment timer. On the slow launches like this one with foam sometimes the on-board acceleration switch does not detect launch, and so we use the string to trigger the timer. For faster launches we just use the acceleration switch.

The parachute is deployed by a timer. The timer is started on launch and after a preset delay the timer activates a servo motor which opens the parachute door. You tube video of the details of the parachute deployment mechanism: 8JY6-vrV1Gg

We use rubber washers on the inside. This also means you don't have to tighten them too much.

To what resolution do you have your player set to? If it is 240p try switching to 360p, 480p or 720p. It is available on YT at those resolutions.

Hi George. I'm back with yet another question. How do you get the guide rail lugs Aligned when you screw the rocket together?

Hello. Nice rocket, nice flight! ;) May i ask two questions? How do you prevent the gardena connects from leaking? In my experience, when using such connects in garden for plants watering, they always leak, so how can they cary such a high preasure? Also is there any tutorial about that jet foaming spacer? Would it be useful if using only water without soap? Thanks in advance ;)

Vytenis Misevicius Hi, we've never really had an issue with the Gardena quick connectors leaking, even at 200psi. I guess it comes down to the quality of the quick connector. We typically use the Gardena brand. You can also make sure that the sealing surfaces are free from dirt and scratches and the o-ring is in good condition. We don't have a tutorial on the jet foaming spacer, but essentially it is just a PVC pipe with a restriction in the bottom whose hole is about the same size as the nozzle. I am not sure how well it would work without soap, but it would be worth trying. Some bubbles would still get generated that way.
