  Would the propellers cause drag when you ignite the rocket? <br>And yes build a bigger and faster one!

  Some terrified 18 year old conscript hiding in a trench while rocket-powered kamikaze drones explode around him: &quot;WHO KEEPS COMING UP WITH THESE INFERNAL MACHINES?!&quot;<br>1 year earlier: &quot;WEEEEEEE DRONE GO SHOOOSH&quot;

  GO BIGGER!!! Maybe something with multiple rocket engines and more powerful electric motors.<br><br>Edit:<br>Used the wrong wording. When you speak eight languages, getting everything is difficult sometimes. Thank you for the correction.

  This is extremely cool! &nbsp;I&apos;m 65 and I used to build flying model rockets and balsa / tissue flying aircraft in grade school and junior high, (back when we thought putting a camera nose cone on a model rocket was mind-blowing!) I only build static display models, now. &nbsp;That said, when I saw this, it definitely gives off Focke-Wulf Triebflügel-vibes.<br><br>It never fails to amaze me how far the hobby has advanced since I was young.<br><br>Thanks for sharing this with us!<br><br>My like is in the 18Ks

  Autolevel mode is worth putting on a switch. &nbsp;That way when you’re camera is facing the wrong way, you have a safe mode to land. &nbsp;Same for trying to land that rocket body. &nbsp;Fly in acro, land in autolevel.

  I think when rocket work, the propeller itself reduces the speed of the model

  Sweet! Hope you&apos;re well, James. On my 5 inch, running 6s, I get 106mph with a GoPro strapped on. That&apos;s with freestyle props, not racing. You managed to go well over that. Maybe you should build one that will lift the Turbine and fuel!!😂

  I’ve got a video idea: What about adding a VR to an RC plane?

  This reminds me a lot of Thunderbird 1 from the 60&apos;s Thunderbirds show. An awesome build!

  When the rocket is stuck in the ground it’s called a shovel recovery.
