Re: Bottle rocket flight times
I know some kids at my old school are getting 11+ seconds.
Problems are better pursued with General Electric GE90-115 engines.

We're also averaging 3-4 seconds and not going very high. This is easy on the egg. However, I'm wondering if anyone else feels the 1L bottle doesn't have enough umph?

Re: Bottle rocket flight times
Hey, Im from Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School in NY, was wondering if you had any suggestions with bottle rocket since we have our state tournament coming up in April. Any successful ideas? Also I do scrambler and I know that you guys got 1st at nats last year in it. How's your schools scrambler now just wondering? We use a spring launch system, however we get about 3 secs from .5-8.5m, is there anything else we should try that might work better? Thanks in advance!Fanglin wrote:I know some kids at my old school are getting 11+ seconds.
