Model Rocket Launch AT SEA: Water Landings, Crashes, and Other Misadventures 

This was AWESOME on so many levels, I will show this video regularly in my high school engineering classes. FAILURE is critical to learning, so many of my students want super cool and want it fast and want it easy. This shows hours of hard work, creativity and SUCCESS after what must have been hours and hours of building and filming! Thank you for posting!

2:20 I know I shouldn't laugh but this is why we always assume the round is about to go live. Thanks for sharing!

This is an outstanding project. Love the planning of events and prep......

Just a suggestion for radio-controlled launching use two channels one channel with a Servo to arm it physically and the second channel to fire

U dont upload very often but when u upload the videos are so cool and epic

I loved your videos and channels so much. It’s great to see y’all back again

What happened to you guys you’ve not uploaded in over a year

When you don't have SpaceX budget lol Btw great setup & rockets Greetings from france ❤️

I used to watch you as a kid glad to see your still around.

Gone but not forgotten

Pls come back or are you working on a project

Glad to see more from you guys! Love your videos!

Always brings a smile to my face when I see a Rapidnadion video show up on my page

Hey weapon Navy and keep up on the seaQuest good job how do you video on the Kitty Hawk

Beautiful Redstone rocket! Looks great with the clear waters in the background :)

Aaaah, rockets! Back to your roots...way to go, guys. A wonderful, honest, and fun video. Congrats from VidOne!!

Finally I see something new in your channel. Love your videos, keep uploading more videos, I wanna see new adventures of the fleet, CV 63, and DD 702

Very creative! Fun to watch. When I built my Estes Mercury Redstone, the tube was cardboard and all the other parts-nose cone, fins, escape tower-were all built from wood glued together with Elmer's. The tower especially was fun to assemble. Each individual rod had to be glued in place, and the nozzles were small pieces of paper rolled into a cone shape. I had many successful flights but I don't think a water landing would have been a good idea! LOL!

dude you deserve 100K subs like for real!

Thet's great stuff... ! I have 2 incredible stories I'd like to share. 1) I was flying with the CRASH club out of Denver, they organised a "landing" event, bring a rocket lauch it, the one who lands the closest to the launch pad wins... Everyone had his special trick, we talked about it for a week, the day of the event we were about 30 trying for glory, the 8 rod pad was loaded, first to go, a dad and his son on pad one. 3...2...1...launch ! The ship goes up arcs into the wind, deploys his Estes chute and floats back... to hang on the rod it just took of from... Imposible to best that ! We all shot anyway and nobody got within 20 ft of the pad... 2) Same rules but for duration, bring anything you want, the longest flight wins, but the judges have to be able to see the ship land... It was cold, and there was snow on the ground. The night before I hurriedly put thogether an Alpha III with a chute made from a trashbag, 2 times bigger than the original. Next day I was there just to participate, I could not win against all those "specials" the experts had build. My trun comes, up he goes into the wind, deploys... nice black round chute... is comming in... then, about 100 ft up it stops descending, it passes in front of us and continues down wind climbig ! It climbs 10-15 ft then descends then repeats... 3 of us took off after on foot, after crossing to wire fences we lost sight, It never landed ! I never found it ! Later on an engineer explained : "You got so lucky, the wind, temperature and chute size were right... the sun heated the air under the black chute and created lift, it was enought to lose your ship..." well I lost anyway...

HEY, it's the guy who reviewed the LG Stylo 3 years ago. Wow, very cool

You guys rock^^ next Elon Musk?^^ haha

If y’all are making something make the Britannic sinking that would be cool

Hilarious! My father and I did something similar in 1980 on a lake in New York. Good times. Thanks for the memory recall.

Hey guys! Long time! Missed your projects.

I made a radio control launchpad 20 years ago ,it was setup to launch 3 rockets side by side 1 at a time ,it worked perfectly!!!

Awesome! Even just your 2nd missfire was about the coolest RC event video I've ever seen!

What a couple of big boys...I LOVE IT. Good video.

Crazy cool. Thanks for sharing!

That is an AMAZING model of the redstone rocket used for the first Mercury missions.

You should make a video with the Titanic models and tell the story with the rc Titanic and sinking Titanic in the same video, kinda like a mini movie.

This is one of the coolest channels in the world

Are you guys dead? It’s been 2 years since your last upload. Still waiting for part 3 and 4 of the Seaquest build.

Always a joy to watch. Have fun

Great video, thank you for your entertainment! I’m glad to see you guys again!

Great video. Exceptional work. My son loves this.

More videos please!!!

Not Bad at all, Congrats !!!

It has been a while, it’s nice to seem the creativity come back.

Next gen of flitetest

You should use a dual ignition system with redundancy to greatly decrease the likelihood of a unintended launch. For example, the igniter circuit would be broken until a radio command sets off a servo which would physically complete the connection. Only then would you give a second signal to launch.

Wonderfully suspenseful and great fun!!! More more

Cooler than ever!!!

You guys are just awesome! I wish that you had more sub's for what you do!

Great to see you active again!:) love it

Cool! Next challenge: launch from UNDER water!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! RapidNadion is back :D Where's the carrier???? :D

please make more videos these were so cool when i was a kid and still are

lovely creativity

AWESOME !!!

Awesome! Good to see you guys again having fun! 👍

Very cool. Reminds me of opening credits of "I Dream of Jeannie".

Great video Such a cool idea launching from the sea What a view

Too cool guys. I love my Freedom 7 rocket as well.

Beautiful rocket

Good to see you guys back at it!

nice to see this channel back in action! The first video I seen by y'all was the "Titanic Break-up" how to, video!

Ayyy hes back

Whoa! That's awesome, great to watch! Thanks for sharing!

MrMobile senior!!

Yeah, that's rad

very nice guys!

Whatever happened to the submarine....that was such a thrill to watch...plz make more videos of it

I was remembering when Toni landed on a beach then found a bottle, rubbed it and Jeanie popped out . LOL

Not to worry even Space X has had its fair share of failed flights, nice video thanks for sharing.

I’m launching a rocket soon called the X-40 Cuz all the others were taken

I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT YOU ARE MR MOBILE. I've been subscribed to this channel for years and totally forgot that. Or maybe its more i forgot Mr Mobile is Rapidnadion haha

I love your video. That some awesome rocket launchs. Very cool

Yey! A video!

That was wonderful and cool 😎 thanks

It’s like of course I still love you from spacex

Your alive!

yay, new video!

If you have an extra channel on your radio, maybe connect that channel to a normally open relay in the firing circuit, so no signal can make it to the ignitor plug before intended

Excelente trabajo!!! 👏👏👏👏👍👍 Muy buen vídeo cómo siempre, se los extrañaba

nicely done

He's alive!

Very impressive!

Too COOL!!!!!! BTW, looks like Florida, maybe the Indian River Lagoon???

Come back we miss you

How cool is that 👍

Wow pretty awesome

You uploaded!

now launch it from land and ATTEMPT to land it on the water launch pad

ıt was amazing guys

1:350 scale Britannic model sinks and capsizes

Hello! I have seen every single video of yours on the titanic, and I've been thinking. I have a video suggestion! Maybe you could make a few tiny RC submarines from the movie to go back to the wreck of YOUR Titanic that you sank. The one that split in half. I'm sure you've probably installed something to bring the ship back up, but if you haven't, maybe you should do this! I love your videos, too!

Nice !

You need to be using a digital radio with S.Bus receivers and digital servo signal, then you can forget interference. Like FRSky or the cheaper FlySky. Even Futaba. But even the analogue servo signal would be locked down to your radio with those brands. Up to 2km distances on 2.4GHZ band.

a cautionary tale in fire control

Cooooooooool I love space

Sweet project and great videos! Time to either convert those radios to 2.4 Ghz or outright replace them. Maybe use a second Channel as a fail safe (both have to be activated for the launch to work). Love the idea of the water launch though!

About time lol

Nice one

When we'll we see giant CV-63 and her air wing operating again? It would be so cool to see drones (DJI Spark and/or Mavic series) operating from her deck)

Wow this is kinda a callback to your first video

Now i want to see a miniature SpaceX launch on sea

Mr. Mobile? Is that you?

amazing

It's awesome
