My launcher doesn't use hose parts . But i would try this website -> http://home.people.net.au/~aircommand/construction_4.htm#Launcher which has a launcher that uses hose pipes.
My 'proffesional water rocket Guide' has instructions on how to make my launcher.

Impressive video! You should definitely put it on YouTube then embed it in the ible, it'd quieten a lot of the doubters :)
I signed up for a youtube acount but it said I had one already... I'll use my friends acount to put my videos on, in the future
Thanks for the comment

Does using more bottles on the rocket make it better or worse, because you have more weight, and it seems like it would weight it down more, but would it give it more aerodynamics.
well... with water rockets it would be hard to make a big rocket. eg. presurisation, filling it up with water. There gets a point where i won't fly. the only reason for using more bottles would be for a multi staged rocket

In the other tutorial you have you showed some designs of rockets people could use, But when you show the final product(like above) there's something that covers or is around the bottles that form the skeleton of the rocket. Are those other parts of bottles or some special cover?

I was wondering...did you ever launch it other ways than upwards? jus' wantd to know how much ft it could fly if you launch it in other ways...
no with rockets you should only launch them upwards

I was thinking of doing your rocket for a competition(of course with some changes) But I think we have to launch it like this "/" is it possible that this rocket could fly similar ft if I launch it like that?
Year definitly I used it in the npl water rocket challange I went to

How many feet of pvc pipe did you use? I think I'm going to ask you many questions since I got many doubts about the making of of this rocket. I hope you don't mind me bothering you so much XD
I don't mind you asking. I used about 2 inches of PVC
Does this actually work - I can't see this going very far, even without a payload ? L
Yes. It goes about 300 ft It's actully a drop away booster rocket witch you can make on my instructable called "professional water rocket guide"
I understand 300 feet to mean "no". Thanks for the answer, but any chance of a video? L
And do you want a video with boosters or without...
I'd like to see how it works, so the thing shooting 300 feet would be impressive enough. But if the boosters are a thing in themselves yes Thanks L
I have uploaded it ... It's on the last step of the instructable
Well it may not be 300 feet but it is really impressive. You should make much more of what this does, and maybe add a video-still from somewhere around 0:42 - 0:43. Very good L
At the moment i am making an instructable for a parachute recovery mechanism. But as your the reader what else do you recomend my doing. thanks for the comment oscar
I didn't know you'd got the thing to work like this - the parachute seems to work, the camera definitely works - and these are much more interesting than the plastic body assembly (although that is necessary). I think the whole thing is understated - make a bigger deal out of it. You should do one on the camera (with video) - I'm sure I've never seen this on a water rocket before. L
Do you mean i should do a instructable about the camera on the rocket... Because the camera is only a cheap phone.
Yes - you shoot it in the air and get good footage, that's kind of "cool" don't you think? L
i could also do an instructable about different payloads you could put in a rocket and how to make them.
Year! I will try to do an instructable and get some more footage
