Hehe... Amateur rockets... now that brings back some memories. We used to play with 1-2 litre Cola-bottles when I was little. Although Armadillo Aerospace is considerably more "serious", the science of "pressure rockets" using soda bottles and nothing other than water and compressed air for fuel has progressed rather a lot. The current altitude record (for a pressure rocket) is over 1000 feet. http://www.sumrallworks.com/rockets/main.php3 BillW -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
