Just a lerger version of the Gardena connector. The 9mm is just too small for a large rocket. You can always also go with the full open neck of the bottle. <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />- GeorgeGeorge Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735356042927822858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536414899963354539.post-80430484540040154212011-11-14T03:13:04.998+00:002011-11-14T03:13:04.998+00:00Sorry forgot to add I have currently had no stress...Sorry forgot to add I have currently had no stress marks at the necks but I'm sure I will see my fair share at some point :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467175462959588962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536414899963354539.post-16943460936932845172011-11-14T03:11:10.300+00:002011-11-14T03:11:10.300+00:00Hey George,
Thank you :) We aren't at all sur...Hey George,<br /><br />Thank you :) We aren't at all sure about the size of nozzle to use, but one thing we know for certain is the launch pad will need a little work to take larger nozzle's, the current release head will only take the 9mm nozzles or as we have tried in the past a 9mm bored out to 10.5mm(Didn't go well I'll see if I can find the picture). What release head do you use for your larger nozzles if you don't mind me asking?<br /><br />Regards DougAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467175462959588962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536414899963354539.post-69906008555976607412011-11-13T21:56:49.752+00:002011-11-13T21:56:49.752+00:00The Stratum III looks like a very serious rocket D...The Stratum III looks like a very serious rocket Doug! :) What size nozzle will you use for that? <br /><br />Good to hear too about the pressure tests on the splices. Do you get any stress marks around the necks of the bottles at those pressures? Having spare ones made up is definitely a bonus.<br /><br />Looking forward to your next flight report. Keep up the great work :)<br /><br />- GeorgeGeorge Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735356042927822858noreply@blogger.com
