First, the desired quantity of solvent mix is prepared. Fresh solvent is best, but if you have any doubts about the dryness, the mix may be dried in the following manner. Both acetone and xylene are hygroscopic (absorb water) so it is important to use dry material. Go Getters are end burners, so you should not have to worry about blowing out the tube.ДЄ 90:10 mixture of dry acetone: xylene is used as the solvent. If you have the inclination, you might want to try hand-rolling some tubes from Kraft paper with a thinner wall to see if they fly better. While Go Getters made with these tubes go quite nicely, the tubes are still relatively heavy. The tubes are then bundled into a convenient size package (I use bundles of nineteen) with rubber bands and set on plastic film (Saran Wrap), ready for filling. The end plug does not need to be glued in as the parlon, once it sets up, is quite hard and will not blow the plug until the Go Getter is almost done burning, if at all.

x 1 1/2' long spiral-wound, machine-made tube with a 1/16' wall thickness and standard 9/16' end plug. Dave Johnson's book covers the construction of Go Getters in great detail, so I will only point out the highlights and differences. I find that, except for occasionally plugging up, the squeeze-type container works very well and gives more control over the flow of material than pouring from a plastic drink cup. If you do not have access to LDPE containers, you must experiment to find a flexible plastic material that is not affected by acetone.

Parlon.->20.->20ДЄll chemicals are run through a mixing screen a few times and, with the aid of a funnel, are poured into an acetone proof plastic (I use an empty mustard squeeze-type bottle made of LDPE (low density polyethylene)). In Percent-BLUE-ORANGEДЄmmonium Perchlorate. These inserts are left to dry for many days, and the one end is dipped in a fire-proof material, like waterglass, to prevent the Go-Getter from taking fire in both ends.Д«LUE & ORANGE ALUMINUM GO GETTERS FORMULAВ : Then poured into tubes filling them about 80%, a piece of black match or thermalite is inserted in the slurry. One tube end is taped or a paper plug is inserted, the finely powdered composition is made into a slurry with plenty of solvent until it has the consistency of pancake batter. Go-getter construction uses unchoked paper tube 9/16' to 5/8' diameter by 1-1/2' in length, usually described as M-80 tubes. The thrust of a Go-Getter is produced by a fierce burning composition, without a nozzle or a core which is necessary in most rocket motors. The flight of a Go-Getter may be a slow lazy curve, a straight line up to several hundred feet, a zig zag or they may spin wildly in place, overall they travel in wild unpredictable paths. Each Go-getter is capable flying through the air like a rocket without a stick.

They are used in an aerial shell as inserts or the head of a rocket. Go-getters are best described as self-propelled stars.
