I am not as proud of the editing in this one as I was of … Read More
A field report of R-14, which produced more than 1.5 kilograms (!!) of force, and was recorded in 4K from a drone!
The test results from R-13, which is the second rocket to break the 1kg barrier, and which set a personal record in strength!
After the rather disappointing results of R-12, the plans were altered to test R-13 with a Type II igniter, to see if it would help with the pressure build up.
After a week off on vacation, work was … Read More

I quickly found nakka’s article on the subject, and after alot of … Read More
