The government should encourage people to build their own rocket motors. Get the industry going here.
That first rocket was amazing! Had the same look, sound, and attitude of a real one.
And the V2 as well.
Awesome Video! That's me and my son at 5:34
Lol
My son and me ?
Jo Gr. my son and I.
Awww.
Real cool he was so happy he ran out to watch his rocket he can look at this video in 10yrs what a memory
I built a lot of model rockets when I was young, and then moved on with my life... work and kids, then grandkids! I don't know why this video shows up on my watch recommendations, but WOW!!!!!
Absolutely Mesmerizing
That Bucky ball rocket was refreshingly unique among all the flying knitting needles. Marvin Martian came to mind as the designer.
It's made by one of the New Zealand Rocketry Association members: www.nzrocketry.org.nz/ full carbon fibre
Always nice when you upload a video. It makes my day so much better!
the V2 was cool........nice slow burn
pretty sure it was slowed down but its still very very cool
I was happy to have watched this last night. Australia has a good group 🚀
The youtube channel i was longing for
What a great video! Very VERY good camera work, excellent stills and some amazing rockets. Well edited, this deserves views in the millions.
Always up with the nice work :D
Thanks for the vid
By far the most realistic and coolest launch by far! 6:30
Great video and a great launch! Yet one more reason to visit Australia!
Nice! Congrats from the other side of the pond!
That's so cool... Love all the stuff!
Most excellent video editing! Fantastic event.
Great video. That's how you put on a rocket event.
I love the red and white checkerboard patterns on the rocket 🚀😎👍👍
The paint scheme is inspired by TinTin's Destination moon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_Moon_(comics)#/media/File:The_Adventures_of_Tintin_-_16_-_Destination_Moon.jpg
greetings from Brazil to all. this should be fun. the wind. the sun. the field. the rockets. fun for the whole family. very good. success.
Greetings from Sydney. It was definitely good fun, but also pretty windy. :)
@@AirCommandRockets . A Great Save The Australia.
Great video. Thanks. Sorry I could not make it this year.
👨💻Australia has some cool rockets alway overseas were seeing . so this was great to see 🤵🔦Straya mate! 🐨👍👍👍
Great stuff. Cheers to Aussie!
Magnifico! que gostoso participar num lugar desses! show!!!
Realmente hermoso! Felicitaciones!
Hi george, always love watching your videos!
Thanks Josh. :)
Great vid, never-ending music track.
great work, bravooo to all teams super event more of them
What a day it must have been!
My #Rocket #Drone would have certainly hold its own. :-)
Great job by all!
Wonderful to see historic airraft and parachutists at a launch! (Doesn't happen in the U.S.)
Super awesome!
That was a well produced video! Greetings from Arizona.
Thanks Mike, Hello from Sydney.
Very impressive, wish I was there!!
The V2 rocket from Tintin was overall the best
I was searching for this comment
At 6:25, folks. Thanks for nuthin' salty.
Awesome edit mate well done 😎🚀👍
Thanks Jase :) It was a fun event.
nice work folks wish i'd been there
Fantástico maravilloso muy bien
That V-2 launch was spectacular! I'm currently building 3 versions, 13mm, 18mm & 24mm. I hope mine fly as good as that one. Bravo!
Good stuff! :) The V2 shown in this video was built by the same guys that flew the 1:1 scale V2 at the same event 4 years ago.
This is really great footage!
With the upcoming season would it be possible to caption altitude, max speed, g-force, and time to climb info?
They are all great Rocketeers but a little more info would a fantastic (helpful?) addition to understand the performance.
Cheers. While it would be great to include the extra information, most of the time it is really difficult to obtain simply because you don't have access to it. Either you don't know who the rocket belongs to, as at events like this there are 100's of rocketeers and 100's of rockets going up. Often you don't know the results of a flight until it is recovered which could be hours or even days later. Sometimes the flights are not instrumented. Ultimately it is just the level of effort required to get the info for a hobbyist with limited amount of time to edit a video.
Love the sound!
Wow those are BadAss 💯⛏️💪😎💯👍💥💥🔥🔥🔥
Great video George.
Cheers SpaceManMat :)
Amazing stuff.
Minute 0:29 ; a perfect launch. Welcome to see PLD SPACE, Spain.
the 1/4 V2 was amazing
11,4KM wow I am impressed I have a small rocket to but only reach 450-meter Fantastic Video, thumb up. Ohh and a small tornado ooppss....
Cheers thanks for that RCHeliJet :)
@@AirCommandRocketsI can't stop watching now on 10min. all this work and technic like it, from Switzerland greetings.
@RCHeliJet there are some pretty awsome rockets made by European erospace student. Like the HEROS 3 made by HyEnD in Germany. Got a peak altitude of over 32 kilometers. There a video on yt if you wanna take a look
@@multidiamanthunter Fantastic Work.
I didn't see lil Kim Hung Ill's rocket launch.. :(
Man! That Red Checkered V-2 Was A BEAUTIFUL Launch! It Looked like the Real Thing That the Germans Launched!
Now that’s a Day of Rockets n Fun.....
Awesome Planes.....
Well one Karl.
Excellent
Holly jump'n I've never seen model rocketry at this leavl . What amazing feats .
Very good!
👏👏👏
Incredible.
Awesome stuff
Great video! Thanks for including our launch. For those who are interested we've just uploaded the launch footage and a short video on the prototype test preparation and launch. Check out both clips on our channel.
A bit larger than my drugstore Estes kits.
John L way larger
Try launching one of those at the local park, and see how quick the police arrive.
i wonder if it shows up on a radar
I fully expect that sometime in the next ten years (by 2030), an "amateur" racketeer will successfully launch a satellite into orbit.
Check out bps space he just might be the person that does it
USA will say no, and call you terrorist.
Bonjour, superbes images, bravo à tous.
Cordialement Papy
Jean-pierre Lainé no french please
ummm........
Well done all.
That is super cool
Wow ... I wish I was there
great video#
"Bucky is unlocky" :D
longer burning motors are entertaining to watch ... 1/4 scale V2 6:28 awesome show!!!
That flight reminds me of how Von Braun described the original V-2 -- a fiery sword.
That hybrid was NOICE
as a German, i liked the 1/4 V2 Rocket most :) ... nice Rocket ships ALL of them, well done Down Under
Greetings to my Aussie EvE online friends and CoPilots
Awesome! By the way, what sort of fuel is it that burns with that brilliant blue colour? I have never seen that before.
That was probably an AeroTech Blue Thunder motor or a CTI Blue Streak.
Oh wow, my birthday was on the last day :)
you guys do it right!
Amazing day! Interesting in what strong wind they still launched!
There were a lot of people that held off launching because of the strong wind, at times it was 20-25 km/h but still within limits of being allowed to launch. We too held off until the afternoons when the wind had died down to 10-15 km/h.
Como. Puedo hacer Para comprar un cohete super
Un promedio cuanto cuesta un cohete intercontinental
The rockets I find most satisfying are the O3400 at 0:19 and the N2000 (1/4 scale V2) at 6:25 because they take a few moments to get going and seem fly more gracefully. For some reason, the rockets that go from zero to 500kph in 1 second don't appeal to me as much.
crazy... anyone knows what the max G those rockets suffer?
Drew's "Full Clip" rocket did around 61G. Our water rocket did close to 65G.
I wanna visit space one day in the future
My friends team rocket did not appear because it whas lightning fast and not visable to the eyes....................
süper yaa keşke bizim okulda da başlatabilsek böyle yarışmaları
I love rocket channels
2 things about the music. 1. Good you kept it low. 2. Sad it was added in the first place..
Excellent competition.
And I really want to see an amateur rocket that enters space with an onboard camera
The one flying C65 was the best - despite the rest of the lot being mighty ones. The C65 launch created a new rocketeer.
Duuude I didn't know "high power rockets" was a thing. These people are crazy ^^
Thunda is such an amazing event, I wish I could be there. Happy to see a part of Horizon finally took of! How much pressure did you use? We can't wait to see the next update! :)
All the best!
Julian
Hi Julian, yes it was a very good event. I was really impressed by the quality of the university entries in the competition. They had 2 competitions, nearest to 10,000 feet and nearest to 30,000 feet. They also flew some science payloads. The first comp winner got to 10,081 feet! One of the rockets even had active air breaks that monitored its flight and adjusted the breaks to try to hit the right altitude. The full Horizon update will be probably a couple of weeks with all the details. :) I am just putting together the Dark Shadow video which will be done next week. ;)
You'd probably want to talk to the organizers. I know it took a couple of years of planning. Contact the owners of Australian Rocketry: ausrocketry.com.au/contact/
I haven't done model rocketry since I was a kid, 40+ years ago, so I'm just wondering if these rocketeers still adhere to the model rocketry code of ethics, where rockets can only be made of balsa wood and cardboard, must be launched within X degrees of vertical, and cannot have guidance systems in them, amongst other articles of the code...
Yes for low power rockets (LPR) this is still true and clubs do enforce model rocket safety codes. However, in the last 40 years motors have become available that are very powerful, which necessitates construction materials and techniques that are far beyond balsa wood and cardboard to make these rockets fly safely without disintegrating. The world of HPR (high power rocketry) has evolved it's own set of rules and experience progression levels that allow people access to more and more powerful motors if they can demonstrate the ability to build and fly rockets safely. As far as guidance goes quite a few projects have been developed by rocketeers that help control roll rate and also steer the rocket on a vertical trajectory if it deviates too much.
For my money, Australia and Texas should for a national union. We have SO much in common.
Australia looks a lot like home, including the weather, mate.
This was done in my home state of Queensland and it's often compared or referred to as the Texas of Australia.
@Roger Rarebit Everyone else.
Nica Video. As a hobby photographer i'd like to know what camera do you use? Seems to be a faster one👍😉
For the stills we use a Nikon D3400 with the 70-300mm lens, and for video we use a number of cameras but mostly the Panasonic HC-WX985M 4K camera. Here is a video about some of the cameras we use: th-cam.com/video/Ct8qNh8vlog/w-d-xo.html , since the video we have upgraded the main camera to the Panasonic HC-WX985M, because the previous one met an unfortunate end when it was hit by a descending rocket (under parachute) when it was out near the pads on a tripod.
@@AirCommandRockets Thank you for your answer. The quality of the stills is indeed very good. To me the camera sounds like a Canon 5D Mk 3 or something similar. Not an entry level camera 😁. Me, i am using a Canon 700d,, also entry level with the same speed of 5Fps. Your pictures of the launching rockets are very sharp and impressive. I am from Germany and we do not have so much places were we are allowed to launch rockets as high as you are. For next summer i will check the internet and hopefully there will be a place nearby, so i can take my son and have an exciting day. For you and your family all the best wishes for the future.
hybrid rocket is the best
3:20 That bad boy took off fast :)
what causes the blue exhaust on some of the rockets?
It all depends on the propellant formulation. There are different propellants depending on what you need the rocket to do. Some are fast burning and some slower burning. They can have additives to colour them say red or green, sometimes they add titanium particles that produce sparks, sometimes propellant mixtures produce white smoke, others produce black smoke.
It might be copper
An idea, I recently thought of, a “slow” rocket made of lightweight material, aluminum foil, even perhaps. Shaped cylindrical, with lightweight frame holding two cans of pressurized alcohol, or other, pointed towards nose cone. I never get to it , think it might be interesting
V2, is it you?
Star Trek First Contact could happen...there is that many rocket scientists!
It was really interesting, but whoeve recorded this had a drone and ground footage so why were we seeing stills sometimes, shots of basically notta. Should've had your ground then a shot of the rocket passing the drone giving us sight of the whole flight?! All could've been edited together and turned out great, half of the launches we missed looking at peoples heads...?
Unfortunately you don't always get ideal conditions to film as one would want. You are limited where you can film from at a launch like this. The stills were added because it shows more detail of the rocket in flight rather than from a wide angle video shot. Fast moving rockets are difficult to film, and those few stills used, they were chosen out of several hundred that did not turn out so well. Lastly, the video edit here is just footage we took in between prepping and launching our own rockets. You could do better if you were there exclusively to film rockets.
would be cool to go there and watch except for all those people killing snakes lol nice video
That V2 would be *so* cool if it actually ran Alcohol / LOX. xD Stupidly impractical, buuuuuut...
Its really great geting to see all the people vvho are embracing model rocketry as a hobby and also pushing the limits of vvhat altitude can be acheived in their class. It vvould be great if groups of experienced hobbyists vvere allovved to create rockets capable of actually acheiving a lovv earth orbit & the payload being a very small transmitter broadcasting a radio signal like the original Sputnik & also being able to take a fevv pictures vvhile in orbit . I vvould think that 3 successfull orbits vvould be more than enough ( Heck , just getting it to orbit once vvould be a major accomplishment ) before it fell back & burnt up ( I dont think that it'd be neccessary for it to survive reentry & that vvoud save both vveight and space as vvell as not becoming space junk that could endanger any communication satelites ). I knovv the scientific community as vvell as the hobbyists vvould definately enjoy such a challenge but the main problem vvould be in getting a country to allovv for such attempts to be made at a specific time as air traffick vvould have to be redirected around the area , the American southvvest or Australia vvould be close to ideal to launch from but so vvould Siberia even more so . Plus the international attention & cooperation vvould be something that could be broadcast to every country & vvatched enthusiasticly. I think that the event could run up to 3-5 days ( maybe 7 to take vveather into account ) & be held annually as something that vvould bring the vvhole vvorld together & reignite the vvorlds interest in space exploration as vvell as something that vvould encourage the young to pursue careers in science ( vvhich should really be done more by every nation & in every feild of science & not just rocketry, though it'd be an excellent start ) . I do have a question & if you've actually read this far I thank you, but has any group of hobbyists ever attempted to have a vveather balloon carry the rocket up to say 10,000 ft & then launch as it seems to me that it'd make the task of achieving lovv earth orbit easier to obtain, though quite a fevv participants may not be enthusiastic about allovving this method . It vvould also not be as exciting because it is quite thrilling to any vievver to experience the countdovvn & be able to see the rocket lift off & that is understandable as vvell as hobbyists vvanting to have the event remain "pure" vvith no form of assistance . But I think that the event could be organized into many classes & avvards should be handed out according to vvhich team acchieved the greatest altitude in their class vvether it be launched from the ground or assisted by balloon ( if that is even possible though I dont knovv vvhy it vvouldnt ) & allovving for launches @ 10 , 20 & 30k ft in different size/vveight classes. My appologies for my ignorance as it has been over 2 & 1/2 decades since I last launched any model rockets , & those vvere vv/my youngest sister though I am hoping vvhen I visit her next to be able to build & launch a rocket vv/my nephevv vvhom I'd love to encourage into the hobby. Thank You to Air Command Rockets for posting this video as it sparked my enthusiasm again & I'm glad something of real interest finally came into my suggestions here on you tube . .....Also sorry for my broken "double you" key as vvell as being overly verbose .
Congratulations, this is the longest comment I have seen on TH-cam. :) And thanks for explaining the "W" issue in the comment. :) Regarding launching rockets from a balloon, look up "Rockoon", it is a real concept and many experiments have been done with it. Paperwork aside, achieving low earth orbit is really difficult for amateurs with limited funds. There are some projects under way, but these are more private commercial than hobbyists. Reaching the Karman line is currently what is possible at the very top end of the sport.
@@AirCommandRockets TYVM for explaining vvhat the current limits are & the rockoon, am about to look it up
@roger white don’t think any team would be close to make it to leo. Its an really hard challenge. The best non commercial rockets that are Build by students still have a long journey before Even beeing able to think about it.
How come the first launch achieved such a slow velocity as part of the 1st or even 2nd stage? What is the specific impulse of that mojtor supposed to be? Was the plume supposed to look like that? Does altitude scale with size 1:1? ie: 3X XXX feet for 1:2 scale means 6-7X XXX feet for 1:1?
Also weren't Nike missiles meant as an ABM? So you'd need incredible velocity wouldn't you?
With a Nike, modern Hypersonic missiles, and say just a regular or hobby rocket or missile...what's the difference in specific impulse, fuel, and way to achieve such a velocity?
Also if your rocket is not going into LEO and doesn't sperate from stages, what's the point in having multiple stages?
A lot of interesting questions. The slow velocity is due to the rocket being filmed in slow motion. If you want to know the full details about this particular rocket have a look at the forum thread here: forum.ausrocketry.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5019 It is a very impressive build. Quick summary on the speed of this rocket: Booster reached mach 1.14 and the sustainer's peak velocity was mach 2.14
Just so that we are clear, this is a half scale model rocket. Just like people play with model trains, you can't really compare the power of a model train to a real train in a meaningful way.
Multiple stages will help you achieve higher altitude in model rockets the same way they do for regular rockets whether you are trying to go orbital or sub-orbital.
Was the plume supposed to look like that? Yes... for this particular motor used on the rocket.
Is this like the black rock, of Australia? In the USA we do most of the hobby high altitude stuff in Nevada
Yes, high altitude stuff is done from here.
15:45 - Jim's L600 Rattworks Hybrid. - Very little smoke... what's the fuel?
This is a hybrid. It normally burns some kind of plastic like Polypropylene (not sure what Jim used) as the solid propellant, and then for the oxidizer it uses Liquid Nitrous Oxide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid-propellant_rocket
wow
in the spirit of Goddard...
