Simple stomp rocket Launcher Assemble the parts below. Joints can be glued or simply press fit. Do not glue the elbow fitting as it should rotate to adjust the launch angle. The ½ inch PVC pipe will slip inside the neck of a soda bottle – tape for a better seal if desired or bore a closely fitting hole through the bottle cap, slip the tubing through the cap and screw the cap down to seal. If using ¾ inch pipe, agrey conduit coupler is more flexible than white PVC and will allow the soda bottle’s neck to be jammed/screwed in securely to attach it. Rockets are made by loosely wrapping a half sheet (4 ¼ x 11) of card stock or construction paper around the removable launch tube and taping the seam lengthwise. Fins are added or cut into the bottom of the tube. Pinch the top shut and tape securely. Slide rocket over tube and stomp away!
