F-117 Homemade halloween costume

-

I decided to build a homemade halloween costume for my son this year. I started by looking at pictures of the F-117 on google images. From there I looked at pictures of an F-117 radio controlled airplane called a park flyer. The appearance was simple enough that I felt like I could build a costume that looked good.

Next I found a set of free plans from parkjet.com I then built a very simple model from those plans which is pictured here.

Settled on the design from Make Magazine . Here is the link to the full article Compressed Air Rocket . Thoughts: The cost to build is about $50. My tire pump was badly damaged when I went up to 80 psi and didn't disconnect the tire pump before launch. The rapid decompression did something to the pump. The electronics are very good for small children. However, you can launch the rocket with out the button and batteries. Give the solenoid a quick half turn and the valve will open. There are other designs that I have seen The rocket's weight distribution is also important. See this article on Model Rocket Weight .
