Soda Bottle Water Rocket Launcher Fabricated Parts + StratoFins + Parachute Kit
One soda bottle water rocket launcher prefabricated parts kit with adjustable trigger mechanism, launch pad, and instructions for assembly and launching. Launcher ships completely unassembled with easy to follow instructions. Launcher will enable you to propel a 2 liter plastic (PET) soda bottle over 350 ft. into the sky using only water and compressed air from a bicycle pump, a foot pump, or an air compressor. Fuel (water and air) is essentially free and readily available allowing countless launches without additional expense. After pumping up the bottle to the PSI of your choice, you control when the launch occurs by pulling on the colored string to release the trigger from a safe distance out of the splash zone. Launcher supports most .5L, 1L, 1.25L and 2 liter plastic (PET) bottles. NO additional expensive materials are required such a wooden board for base, metal mounting brackets, or expensive pulley for string to operate the trigger. Materials and Tools Needed for Assembly: PVC cement, duct tape, scissors, ruler or yardstick, tape measure (optional), flat blade screwdriver (or 5/16 in. or 8 mm socket wrench). Materials and Tools Needed for Launch: Plastic (PET) soda bottle, water, air source (bicycle pump, foot pump, or air compressor), 2 tent pegs (wooden stakes, wire hanger, rock, or brick) to keep launcher from moving when the string is pulled. StratoFins will guide your rocket to lofty heights with straight flights instead of tumbling through the air. StratoFins are made of durable plastic and screw-on to a 2 liter bottle. The StratoFins kit includes 1 attachment ring + 3 fins along with an instruction sheet that provides information for creating a nose cone. Reusable parachute for thousands of launch recoveries. Shroud lines easily loop over fins attached to a 2 liter bottle and gathered at the top with a cable tie. Parachute canopy is just the right size for providing a fun and safe recovery. Parachute is made with Rip-stop nylon fabric for durability.
