This video shows step-by-step instructions for assembling the LOC-IV high-power model rocket. This is a great rocket for level 1 certification, and it's light enough for mid-power launches as well.
My Rocksim file for this kit is available at www.rocketreviews.com/rocksim....

Underrated channel! Let’s get those likes up for him. KZfaq algorithm sucks.

Alvin the chipmunk in the center of the video cracked me up. 😂

@@REAR_rockets I don't know how I missed this series in the first place. I am always looking for good videos on mid and high power construction.

Dave, I actually had a little bit of warping on one of my fins with the wood filler method. I ran some water over both sides and put it under a book with 100lbs of weight on top over night which seemed to have straightened it back out.

Very informative and educational. Thanks Dave! One day... maybe... I'll go HPR. For now, I'm happy building the smaller rockets (less expensive), and especially rockets I'm not really interested in because whatever mistakes I make, they'll be made on rockets I don't really care about. That way, when I get to the rockets I really like, I'll be able to avoid those mistakes. Again, thanks for all these rocket builds. It really helps!

High-power rockets are fun, but they do put an extra level of strain on one's bank account.

It's a Loc IV because it has a 4" body tube, Loc I has a 1" bt, the Loc VII has a 7" bt.

That was my first guess. Thanks for clarifying.

It looks like you should have had the nut plate the other way around. So that when you tighten the screw up the nut plate will get tighter inside against the plywood.

It does when installed.

Is it worth putting a screw on engine retainer on this rocket? I bought one, but could save it for next one. Also, I was looking at Cessaroni motor case like you show here. 3 grain or 6 grain? Or buy a starter kit that has both cases?

@REAR_rockets 2 жыл бұрын

Personally, I chose the starter kit when I first ventured into high-power rocketry. The retainer is a matter of choice. The bracket retainer used here seems to hold well enough, and is much less expensive than the screw-on variety.
