This blog covers the day to day progress of water rocket development by the Air Command Water Rockets team. It is also a facility for people to provide feedback and ask questions.
We had a good day at the club launch today. :) The conditions were ideal with very little wind and blue skies. It was a relief to get such good conditions for the first test flights especially after the weeks of rain. Here are a couple of photos from today:

We will put together a launch report again over the next few days.

Congratulations! Great job! I'm very happy for you. I cannot wait for the report.
I don't know parameters of the rocket, but based only on the photos and 360 psi pressure I make a altitude prediction of 300...330 meters. :)
Fantastic Job!
I know a great deal of hard work went into planning and construction of this craft.
You are to be congratulated.
Finaly it flew!
I can´t wait to see the report and the videos!
congratulations from Russia, George!
I am looking forward to the start and that's true!
i cant wait for launch videos))))
Hi George congratulations with the flight of the shadow. On the pictures, it seems to be a good launch and certainly a height of more than 300 meters. I'm already looking forward to see the video. TEAMLUCROCKETS
Holy Cow!!!!
(need i say any more?)
Well done George, that is the most awesome rocket I've ever seen
Thanks very much for the kind words guys :) We were glad to finally get the rocket off the ground, it's been way too long since we started the build. I'm just putting all the photos, video and data together from the flights. We did beat our personal best altitude though on flight 1 and again on flight 2. :)
Bien George!!! Felicitaciones para su equipo, esas fotos se ven bárbaras, he estado siguiendo día a día para verlas, la espera fue eterna, estoy ansioso de ver los videos, hurra!!!!
