Re: rocket tank [TANKS]

still having it d/l to see it all, but that second shot is a good reason why rockets really should be used.

 

I wonder if a hollow shell, like a long bullet could be mad with the tip made removable. take the tip off, put in about 3 pinches of talcum powder and put the tip back on. have the shell have 4 hole around the front end of the shell and 4 at the trailing edge. this way when fired, the air passes through the shell taking the powder with it, and it'll leave a light smoking trail as it travels through the air (to make it easier to retrieve after words).

 

that and it would just be safer me thinks that launching one of them rockets blindly (he should put some small, straight (or with a slight twist) strips of wood along the sides of the rocket motor to help it fly a bit truer.

 

is that a magical mushroom from Alice in wonderland that guy is holding there?

 

but it is a neat little build to take out and run around with (at least he can set it in the front seat if he wanted too).

 

I'm guessing someone has all ready asked did the cast on the arm come before or after this build.

 

and what is this VEX i see him putting on the back of this thing? is that like the receiver or something? I also see a link for a VEX flame-thrower too, that's why i ask.

 

okay, while waiting for this ever so slow connection to finish loading this video, i started reading some of the replies to the original email.

 

Aahz - i like the Nerf idea (other than they don't exactly fly straight), can you make a clip so you can launch about 6 or 8 or them one after the other?

 

to bad this little thing could be worked into some sort of self propelled gun (either that or paint it camo and stick some nations colors on it)

 

okay, i'm tire of waiting for it to finish, think i'll look at some of them other links to the right, starting with that 1:4 scale Tiger :)
