!!! BE PREPARED - HIGH PRESSURE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS !!! !!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION !!! This is an experimental CO2 cartridge rocket. You will need: -co2 cartridge (used in airsoft like the 12g umarex) -a 40mm PVC Pipe (2 or 3 mm thick, design the rocket model accordingly) -A 2mm nail -Small diameter metal wire Position the fins correctly, with the leading edge pointing up when deployed. Secure them with small metal wire (use glue or simply bend the wire to hold it in place). Attach the nail to the end cap. Insert the cap into the PVC pipe. Load a CO2 cartridge into the rocket. Hold the tube at a 45-70 degree angle. Drop the rocket into the tube, and the nail should puncture the cartridge's valve, launching the rocket out. BE VERY CAREFUL - HIGH PRESSURE CAN BE DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION. PROCEED WITH CAUTION To prevent accidents, test everything before firing, making sure the rocket slides freely in the pipe. You can drill small holes at the base of the pipe to prevent gas buildup and achieve a cool smoke effect.
