Two G-Motor Cluster Rocket Onboard Video Nov. 21, 2009
Launched at TTRA monthly event held at Varn ranch, Plant City, FL. Maiden flight for "Cinema 5" scratch-built 57" tall rocket from PML parts and a motor cluster of two Aerotech G80-10 motors. First test of a altimeter-fired, homemade non-pyrotechnic device (nichrome wire and fishing line) for main chute deployment at 500 feet. Drogue and main parachutes were custom-made by Phylachutes. The rocket contained an Aiptek HD-1 camcorder. Dizzying descent until the main chute deployed. Rocket achieved an altitude of 1,661 feet and was recovered safely.
