Model Rockets: WCC students with drone footage
One of the highschooler's parents brought out their Mavic Mini 2 so had some interesting overhead footage. There was one close fly by. Getting shot down by a Harpoon missile is always a possibility. I didn't spend that much time on this video since halfway through, the program crashed and wiped out the slomo shots I created. The labels for the Cheerio scratch is reversed. First two are C11-5 and next two are C5-3. Meanwhile, the trade winds have finally calmed down over the coming weeks so should be some epic launches coming up. Gary and I both had separations with our rockets. Mine had a streamer so was quickly recovered. Gary's floated away on the chute but was eventually returned by one of the highschoolers. The winds were different with offshore breezes that blew most of the rockets over the building. No one seemed brave enough to launch toward the mauka and risk landing in the State hospital grounds. The highschoolers brought their 3D printed rocket they recently made (and were very proud of). The rocket had a JLCR and Altimeter2 inside. They had a pack of C11-5 and were wanting to launch more, so I donated two C5-3 and the adapter. The third flight had a chute failure and the fourth didn't eject. I added the orange line chalk to the pad for the fourth launch which worked well with the ground cams. Before heading to the community college, I stopped by the LHS which was surprisingly busy, probably due to the approaching holidays. While there, two people expressed interest in the model rocket displays. One is a servicemember with a very understanding wife and two young daughters. He wanted to start with building the Saturn Skylab. I successfully talked him into the Astrocam and a pack of B6-4. Why do I feel like I introduced the family to an addictive drug?
