Come back I'm always adding more!

        My uncle got me started building rockets out of pop bottles.  I started around 6th grade and have been building water rockets in my spare time.  just about any bottle will work I've made launchers for wide mouth and regular bottles 1, 2, and 3 liter and those really small ones.  It is fun and dosen't cost as much as model rockets that you have to buy engines for.  The only things you need is PVC, fittings, tube, O-rings, and a bike pump.  Once you have purchased the beginning stuff all you need is pop bottles.  

   This is my first try at making parts out of fiberglass.

   Big body tube made for multibottle rocket.

   First large rocket made of 4 2-liter bottles and the other
    and smaller rocket that I later rebuilt.

   This is my first try making a recovery coupler
   with a electric timer circut to trigger the igniter.
   It didn't work, looked sweet though.

   This is the next version of my last coupler recovery system.
