BSD Thor 9th March 2014 - CTI J-354
This video was captured using an 808 key chain camera (720p HD). The location is Queensland Rocketry Society (QRS) launch site at Cedar Grove. This is my BSD Thor 4" rocket launched on a CTI J-354 motor. Apogee was approximately 2,300 feet. Due to an error in wiring up the G-Wiz HCX flight computers, the ejection charge for the main chute fired at apogee. Fortunately the main chute jammed inside the airframe. The ejection charge for the drogue chute fired at 800 feet, and the force of this jolted the main chute out of the airframe. The main chute deployed for a perfect landing. No damage was sustained. A lucky escape for the Thor!
