Mid Power Rocket Launch POV Onboard Camcorder April 05, 2016
Launched in northwest OH. "Top Shot 2.0" is completely reconfigured Estes rocket (saved only the nosecone) with a Missleworks Altimeter and a G79-7 White Lightning single use motor. 808 keychain camcorder. Rocket motor ejection charge fired early at about 5 seconds while the rocket was still ascending. Neglected to reset the factory presets on the altimeter, and the Main chute charge fired at 1,000 feet. But the rocket only drifted a few hundred yards from the launch site. I will further reconfigure the rocket to be a true dual deploy in the future, and not use the motor's ejection charge. But otherwise, the rocket flew very well.
