RC Model Video Clips

nichropulse.com This how-to tutorial is part-1 of a two part video. In this first part, I show you how I make consistent and accurate 3 inner-diameter rocket nozzles. I demonstrate two types: packed bentonite clay (or clay-grog) nozzles, and quick cement nozzles. I use some common tooling that is used extensively in the amateur rocketry and homemade firework community. In particular, I use the Perfect-Nozzle kit. Professional drawings and the source list are available at www.nichropulse.com for FREE. In Part-2, I will demonstrate how I load pressed sugar candy propellant in powder form. This motor can easily be loaded with other rocket propellants such as black powder propellant, APCP propellant, and casted R-candy propellant.

I flew my RC plane over the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. I flew around the Saturn V, Saturn I, and the Space Shot ride. On the east side is the OV-098 Space Shuttle Orbiter Pathfinder. At the front door of the museum is a Lockheed A-12 Oxcart. You can see the new facility nearing completion which will be the new home to the Saturn V that is laying on it’s side. Older aerial shots will show where the Saturn V was on the back side of the lot. I launched from across the road and flew through the video display on my end. Landing, I acquired visual of the plane and guided it into my hand. The aircraft is a Multiplex EasyStar from hobby-lobby.com The camera in a KX131 camera (uncased) from rangevideo.com The video link is 2.4GHz from rangevideo.com My video display and recorder is a Sony MiniDV watchman. The radio link needs a better receive antenna.
