DarkZero 0 #52 July 20, 2010 QuoteWhat would you recommend using? 110 lbs of thrust with genuine propulsion rocket = 2.4 kg rocket + 800 g frame + 600 g valves and pipes + 500 g 1.5 l bottle + 200 g lipo + 1100 ml H²O² = 18 sec full thrust That thing in a wingsuit BM S3 about 360 HP to handle is the only problem, because it's scary stuff... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrBbT-uMbI8...your mother... www.pralle-zeiten.de Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H2O2 in suitable concentration for a rocket is nasty stuff, as the Me163 pilots and mechanics discovered in WWII.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Model turbines doesn't work at high altitudes, even at 5000ft they sometimes won't start properly. The mechanics worldwide discovered nasty stuff with rockets, even 50 years after they collected sience results. Challenger disaster and many more.
