towing a rocket

[b-29er]

im trying to test out rocket designs by towing tem behind a ducted fan rc plane .anyone launched a rcket from a plane or made a winch to tow something?

Im pretty sure fun stuff like launching rockets from planes is against the AMA safety code, but glider towing is done all the time.

Well, go somewhere the AMA ain't looking then, pal ;)

I would but I dont think the UK will allow me in the country with the miniature .50 cal machine guns I want to try for myself. :D

The AMA didn't stop them doing this...

The AMA can't stop you from doing anything... but if you burn down a car, forest or person, they can refuse to pay out on the insurance claim.

NICE! That has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a while! Can I get that 'togo' with a side of flamethrowers and napalm?

If you're towing a rocket at an AMA field with a line, and that's it, do it. But you can also just spin it on a line to find the CG.
