Title:
How to prepare a model rocket for flight
Description:
Getting a model rocket ready for its flight is one of the critical things that you control that will determine whether or not the flight is successful. You'll see how to fold the parachute, pack the wadding in the model, insert the igniter, and hook up the clips. The result will be a perfect flight that will win the applause of your friends and other spectators.

It also seals the surface and makes the rocket easier to prepare to its final coat of paint. It takes a little practice, but the results are worth the effort.

![]() | First Flight of Estes CC Express Model Rocket with On-Board Video I built a 2-stage Estes CC Express Model Rocket and this is its first flight as seen using a Boostervision digital video camera mounted to the sustainer stage. The rocket was flown on October 12, 2009 in Eugene, Oregon using a D12-0 engine for the booster stage and the sustainer stage was modified to hold a E9-6 engine. The unstable spin is due to a slight flaw in one of the sustainer stage fins. Recovery was made by the use of a 16" nylon parachute and a 3"X3" Nomex blanket as wadding.... |

![]() | How to make conformal model rocket parts When the bottom edge of a model rocket part conforms to the shape of the curved body tube, we call this a conformal part. This includes wide parts, like thick fins, surface details like electrical tunnel covers, or simulated cockpits. The reason to make conformal parts is that they are much stronger, lighter, and they look better because there are not unsightly gaps under the edges. This video shows you how simple it is to make conformal parts. Basically, all you need is some sandpaper, and ... |
