TV commercial, Servo Timer II

Two weeks ago we were contacted by an advertising agency filming a TV commercial here in Sydney. They required some water rockets and a launcher for some of their scenes, and so we helped them decide on the design and ended up making the rockets for them as well. Dad and I got to come out on the day of the shoot to help set up and launch the rockets. It was a fun and very interesting day.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos: http://www.AirCommandRockets.com/day123.htm



Servo Timer IIs

We have also started making another batch of the Servo Timer IIs as we have had quite a few requests for these over the last several months. The servo timers are now available for purchase from here:

They are a little cheaper than the last batch as we were able to get better volume discounts on the components.

Hi George,

Good to see you’re having fun with water rockets.

Good to hear you are doing another run of the ST-II. Grate product.

Thanks Jeremy, we had a lot of fun on the day of the shoot. :) Do you still get to fly your water rockets? I haven't seen an update for a while.

Hi George,

I read the article and that is a lot of bottle and tornado tubes.

I think there will be a lot of bottles flying from backyards after the add is aired.

I have been quiet and over the winter and have been re-tooling for T8 FTC, a new project or not so new just taking longer than I expected. Will be flying rockets this summer.
