    The launch station has to be about 4,000 to 6,000 in its self. Then the rocket and the motor sizes to get that thing to fly that high. That was awesome though, and like the electronic devise that deploys the parachute at like 500 feet that super cool.

    Very nice launch! Looked like about $10k of equipment in my uneducated opinion but I suspect it cost even more.

    • @DFX2KX
      @DFX2KX 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      That depends a lot on the kit (and how much work you have to put in yourself), and the size of the motor/what propellant you loaded the motor with. The altitude-reporting system is a few hundred bucks easy if it's an off-the shelf one, one of the fancy ones that has a base-station that talks to you live costs even more.
      There's pentaclorate fuel, which costs something like $1,000 a pound... it can get super pricey, yeah

    • @TaterRaider
      @TaterRaider 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Levels 1, 2, and 3 certs allow you to purchase and fly high powered rockets. The higher the number, the larger the engine. Certification is also required for hybrid rockets. Canada has 4 cert levels.
      This allows the hobby to self-police and reduces arbitrary uneeded and unwarrented govermental regulation. It also promotes a better education and understanding of the aerodynamics, physics, etc. involved through mentoring. It really is rocket science, and if you're intrested it's within most people's reach.

      @@jasongeerer8163 Only advice I've got is start with an Estes Starter kit. You can do a lot of the high power stuff with low power rockets and grow into it from there. Also check with NAR and TRA (US) to see if there's a club near you. It saves a lot of headache later on.
