High-Power Rocketry Flight with 720p HD Camera
A 4" x 8-foot / 7.5 pound high-power rocket ("Thing One") on a 4-grain 38mm Cesaroni I255 Red Lightning motor. A full high-def 720p camera was taped to the side. Max altitude was 2,264 feet, and because the electronics bay wasn't quite sealed well enough, the main chute deployed at apogee when the separation charge pressurized the altimeter bay as well. There was a 44" Skyangle parachute attached, which kept the rocket itself very stable on descent, so the video is quite watchable. Had to make the hike of shame, but the excellent video was worth it. Watch where it lands....
