Follow his directions and all should be great. One other thing that I make the kids keep around is a fire extinguisher, you never know if you will need it. Keep safe and have fun
Actually you don't need to bury the pipe. But you do need to make sure its secure so it doesn't fall over or change direction. 2 or 3 masonry bricks would do great... If you can set it up so you can change the angle, so much the better.
I can't image that you have a rocket that requires more than a 3 foot pipe. However, a longer pipe will keep the rocket from flying wild, and is a nice thing.. Just make sure that the trajectory avoids people, roofs and flammable items... And you probably don't need to go more than 10 to 20 degrees off vertical.
Make sure there is no one to the side or forward of your tube.. Have an adult light the fuse, drop the rocket into the pipe as soon as it lights and back away quickly. If you get a dud, wait a full minute before tacking it out of the tube. Do not try to relight a dud. Really.
Oh, and enjoy! A happy and safe 4th of July to you! 8)

- June 28, 2005, 04:33:42 PMIm sorry to hear that....I did find a 3 foot pipe, does it matter how deep it is or how much of the rocket stick is in the pipe?

- June 28, 2005, 02:42:40 PMWe use PVC pipe and bury part of it in the ground so it is well supported. Make sure your pipe is long enough for the "stick" on the Rocket. Good Luck and Have Fun

- June 28, 2005, 11:26:24 AMI believe that Captain is talking about some PVC (Plastic) pipe.
However any non-flammible tube about a foot or two long will work.

- June 28, 2005, 11:04:50 AMthese are medium rockets...what was this pipe from?
Posted by NotAdumbBlonde
- June 28, 2005, 10:53:28 AMdepends on what kind of "rockets" they are.
Are they the small "bottle rockets" or the larger ones?
The small ones you can use a bottle or can. For the larger ones, we use a piece of pipe stuck in the ground. If all else fails, you can dig a small deep hole to place it in, but that does not always work good.
good luck and as my mother always says.......don't put a eye out with those stupid things.

Hence the nickname "bottle rockets"

- June 28, 2005, 10:47:37 AMI have just bought a pack of rockets for the first time. It says on the directions to place in a wooden through or iron pipe. What could i use for this? could i just put them in the ground? suggestions are appreciated.
