7:40 - casually flexing having Tom Stanton as a patreon.. :D

7:38 Hey! That’s me!

"Rapid unscheduled dis-assembly" Love it.

Been watching a bunch of your rocketry videos. I see you are using nylon chutes which is good, but recovery systems failure to deploy, failure to deploy correctly (tangled), or failure to deploy at all, can be attributed improper stowage. To achieve a higher success ration I suggest the following two tips. 1) carefully dust the chute with talcum powder prior to launch. Be sure to make sure some of the powder ends up between the tube and the cone to assure a clean separation. 2) To avoid tangles, be sure to carefully fold the chute into pie sections and then cure, wrapping the string around the chute very carefully. Combined with the powder, this will avoid the tangles and assure full deployment almost 100 percent of the time.

I really like how detailed this video is.

9:50 Ah I see you like rctestflight too

Hello from Russia. I am glad to see a smart, enthusiastic person.

The nosecone looks like nosecone of the lunar starship!

Aerospace kevin the bruyne is back at it again.

Rapid unscheduled disassembly. I love that phrase. The stereotype of UK weather being horrible is spot on. It feels like it's cold, wet, windy or a combination of all of them, for most of the year. Then, we get a scorching heatwave that lasts a couple of weeks in the summer, where everyone is boiling to death, then back to the endless drizzle. And it always seems to be horrible weather whenever I want to fly. Either too windy, too cold, or raining. Merry Christmas!

I built a 5 ft double stage rocket using 2-D engines out of Christmas paper tubes, no plans, worked so good, then about the 8th launch it exploded on the stand, GONE, just schreds everywhere, it flew perfectly everytime. We didn't have all this tech back then, 30 yrs ago .

My name on a rocket is a VERY cool Christmas present! Thanks James, and merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours. Major Tom over and out 😎

Just found your channel!!!! Wish I found it a long time ago. I’m excited to see the growth of your project!

Damn, this guy did his homework.

Pretty fantastic work, James!!! 😃 Looking forward to the next part! Happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Looking forward to Part 2! Have a wonderful Christmas.

Nice project! I’m a little bit worried about the Estes BT80 tubes being able to handle a G or an H. Speaking from experience, those CTI composite motors have way more thrust than a black powder motor, and the Estes tubes are quite thin and really only meant for low-power use without any reinforcement. In the future as you progress into high-power I would suggest you consider using thicker tubes.

I was waiting for this!!! Thank you so much🙏 I absolutely love your videos, you deserve a million and more subs

just discovered your channel tonight (Jan. 13,2021) and am not sure why I haven't found it before. Planes, rockets, RC electronics... you are hitting most of my interest point! Watched 8 or 10 videos now and am subscribing post haste. Love what you're doing and look forward to more. Thanks.

I'd feel like I've made it when Tom Stanton is a Patreon supporter. Nice work. Super cool

Yo that rocket is sick

Two part videos are just fine. Nothing you can do about the weather. Loving the content.

Nice video man, great to see young guys getting into model rocketry. I bought my first Estes rocket way back in 1980, it was red a black with skull and crossbones decals. Flew great, although the fins got damaged on landing. Fins that don’t protrude from the base downwards work much better for models. Great see guys using all the cool kit to model and receive telemetry these days. Regarding the speed and GPS, can you not use accelerometers these days? They’re pretty cheap and compact as far as I know.

Aside from weight, which I don't know off hand, I'd recommend a Tile Pro for bluetooth location. The Tile Pro has a range of about 300 feet, whereas the Tile Sticker only has 150 feet, according to Tile. The Tile Pro is relatively easy to disassemble, with a bit of finesse, and remove the plastic case/metal frame, wire a 3V battery to, to save weigh but gain a bit of distance if you need it. Not to mention the Tile Pro has a much louder ringer, which is (from experience) decreased a lot when placing it inside an RC vehicle...

You've just gained a new subscriber! Nice to see someone in the UK with these great interests!

NIce work! Let me add that I have been using your sponsor, Private Internet Access, since 2014. I'm very pleased with it, this is a product that actually works!

Good luck for your next project

What a massive improvement! Congrats!

I love your work dude. Keep up the good content!

Watching your videos this evening. Had to pause for tea--the effect of having that mug in the video is powerful indeed :) Canadian, but born in the UK, raised by UK-born parents. So, my blood is partially tea :)

What a great way to end this year! Keep it up James.

i love how this looks like an aerobee rocket!

Very impressive!! You've got a good collection of skills and knowledge there, I'm predicting a bright future for you!

Thank you for taking us on these journeys with you. I'm new to your channel but I'm loving the work you do!

Looking for ward to the future vids, I always enjoy how thorough and well planned your projects are.

Great job! I'm looking forward to part 2.

That looks like you had a great test launch and the rocket looks awesome! I'm not surprised that Tom Stanton is on your list...he's been a KZfaq favorite of mine for many years. Keep up the good work buddy! I'll be watching for the next attempt when the weather allows. I'm stoked to see more video from your blue boat!

Nice video, I have dabbled in model rocketry for many years. Keep up the great work.

Great video as always, keep up the great work!

I should have been born 20 years later. Great Videos and Exp.

I love that Tom Stanton is one of your paterons.

Finally staging ! Can't wait for you to make more complicated designs

That's pretty cool that Tom Stanton is supporting your channel, can't wait for the launch 😁

awesome series and professional build!

Cool project. Merry Christmas 💯😎

This guy puts so much effort into his videos he really deserves more attention he is so creative

Happy Holidays! Great video. Keep up the good work :)

Never thought I would have my name on a rocket :D I recommend his Patreon, he deserves it ;)

LOVE it! I've built sugar rockets before and they were "explosive" but I wish you better luck with your certification!

your patience = wisdom.

So cool, I experimented a little with small rocket engines as a kid, then I moved onto rc airplanes but I’ve always wanted to combine the 2. Best of luck

great videos! I'm interested in learning more about the custom rocket engines you sourced for this project. - thank you.

You can consider adding a Gyro on the top of your rocket, it can keep your rocket vertical during ascent. 😃

Love from India, Kerala

Best project ever! It was so good

I used to use old umbrella coverings for parachutes, they look and work great and are free.

so sick man keep it up bud love ur vids pls do more

BEA-utiful ! good job man.

That rocket launch was amazing can’t wait for next video

Nice Rocket, looks very awesome

Hey Dude!!! I have a suggestion, you should make a model rocket propelled by a punctured tesla battery.

it's good that this guy sounds like such a, you know, definitely not a person with dangers information

appreciate your effort

You are doing a great job mate, we all feel your pain with the British weather !!

THIS GUY IS SO UNDERRATED GET THIS GUY BIG

A beautiful rocket, can't wait to see part 2! Have you considered making your own rocket motors (e.g. sugar rockets) to provide more tailored thrust profiles?

Dont know how I didn’t see this video pop up! But yesss keep up the rocketry content!!

I love your commentaries

*This guy:* making a complicated rocket with multiple stages and a parachute. *Me:* hahhaha coke and Mentos go brrrrr

I'd enjoy another joint video with you and Tom Stanton - a Virgin Galactic Plane/Rocket maybe? The collaboration is a good thing to see.

That's so awesome.

Wow....love it.

Welcome to the world of HPR!

Amazing!! Do post more.

Woah. This is so cool! Subbed

Looks like you modeled your rocket after a Sidewinder missile. Love it!

I'm hyped for this video

This is 2 video I've watched at love him so far

GPS uses something called trilateration and due to the vertical position of the satellites and range errors and environmental factors (interference of EM waves with at atmosphere) makes calculating vertical position much harder than horizontal positions

Amazing initiative brother 🔥🔥🙏🙏

good show, carry on then! cheers!!

Wow amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

nice work

He deserves so much more for things like this

Awesome video

Perfecto , bravissimo !!!

Good luck on your L1. I remember getting my L3 in 2003. You are proceeding with some great well considered designs and thanks for sharing them with everyone. You’ll be wanting a M HyperTek Hybrid in a minimum diameter design before you know in!

nice Arrma limitless in the background, you love speed!

I made a 3X scale, twin E engine Wolverine replica. It rocks.

I *knew* I recognised that landscape from your earlier vids. Nice to see another shire dweller ;)

I like how Tom Stanton is one of your patrons

Good job man good

RockSim is a great bit of software. I remember when that was only available on 3.5" disks. The GPS calculations don't work well for vertical speed. Try using an integrating accelerometer or a logging pressure system instead. I know, you did not want to use a rocket computer but the difference in accuracy is worth it.

I'm late to this but a major piece of advice (which you probably know about), switch to PETG rather than PLA. Toughness, impact resistance, and heat resistance is much better. Excellent videos rocket man! From across the pond 😉👍

What about the magic of KZfaq editing!? Was really let down to see this a 2-parter.. Oh well, though! I'll definitely come back for part 2 - you've certainly captured my attention. Well done sir.

Never done rockets before james but i have made a few para troopers to drop from a Super 60 the best thing i ever tried was using mesh as stringers for the canopy so you only need one thick Cord so there is nothing to get tangled hope this helps.

Been here since 5k well done

me inspiraste. yo creo que puedo hacerlo. en algunos años, pero lo podré hacer. saludos desde colombia!
