Patriot Rocket

Launched on July 4, 2013. This rocket holds 4 engines, however only 2 ignited. I saw this as a fail and a success as a flight. It was a failure due to only 2 engines igniting but it was a success because it lifted off the launch pad. Sorry for the lack of pictures as this was done a year ago.

1. Badger® Model 350 Airbrush ($60)
2. Testors enamel model paint in red, white and blue (1/4 FL. OZ.)(at least 4 bottles of each color)
3. Acetone
4. 1/4" wide tape
5. Model rocket of your choice (I chose the SUNWARD Eruption Model Flying Rocket
6. Bigger parachute(I didn't like how small the original parachute was so I got a 24" parachute)
7. Recovery wadding
8. 4 B-64 engines
9. 2 Igniters
10. Launch Pad
11. Launch Rod

Assemble your rocket

In a small cup pour all of the paint. (I used 4 bottles)

Pour in 4 caps of acetone and mix well

Pour mixture into airbrush capsule and apply a light-medium coat of paint on all rocket parts

Nose Cone: White
Fins & Bottom Party of Body Tube: Blue
Body Tube: White

After each painting rinse out the canister with acetone and spray some acetone through the barrel to make sure you don't have a mix of colors.

Take 1/4" electrical tape and run it up and down your rocket leaving 1/4" space between each tape strip

In between the stripes that you taped airbrush red. Wait till it dries and then peel off the tape and enjoy your art work.

Add recovery wadding into the body tube in between the engines and the parachutes.

Put engines in designated spots

Place rocket on launch pad

Give your new rocket a kiss for good luck

Insert safety key in each of the igniters wait for lights to come on

Press both buttons simultaneously
