Cessna 170 Air-Launched Rocket

Please read the info at the beginning of the video. After launching four rockets, I found out that this did not meet the rules of the AMA. So, I would not suggest anyone do this. However, it was freaking COOL.
The plane used is a Flex Cessna 170. It was the perfect testbed for this now-canceled air-launched rocket program.
This was a cool DIY rocket launch project.

This being at a big national event with all the big manufacturers there is probably what raised some eyebrows. I doubt a local club would mind and would love watching it!

I am sure you are right. No one complained, only pointed out that the AMA did not like rockets from planes. :)

@@dagtheaviator Every year the scouts use our club to shoot their model rockets and I bring a few planes to fly for them to watch. Guess what I will be trying next year? 🤣 Thanks for putting this into my head!😄 ua-cam.com/video/0bLeQlPKmUY/v-deo.htmlsi=XpTn0-PzRPW-89uO

It does look very cool!!
There’s some people launching guided rockets which would be very cool to air launch from high altitude!

haha that is so cool. My mind instantly went to air to ground and ground to air rocket battles !! Thanks for posting, great fun.

I loved it. I've thought of doing this, but did know it was against AMA rules. Still way cool.

You are going to have to get someone to help you fly the rocket with a receiver and servos onboard.

Awesome 😅❤

Screw the AMA. Have fun with your airplane! The plane and rockets are toys and were grown people.
