Optimum stomp rocket size

A4 wide - that is 210mm of photocopy thin card ( 160 GSM )
rolled around the 22mm waste pipe tube ( from local DIY ) snug but loose fit.
Nose cone approx 80mm long ( but try longer ) and filled with 2 crumpled sheets of copier paper ( 80 GSM )
Fin size 50mm high and 50 mm wide.
This rocket reached at least 50 metres using a 2 litre bottle.

Have a great time and perhaps send us a link to your video.
If we can help others to get the best results or just to compare please contact us.

Happy summer to everyone and thankyou for your support... so until September ... have a STEMTASTIC holiday.
