First test of the payload bay ejection charge on the Bronco Torpedo II. 2.8 grams of FFF black powder and my home made ignitor. No shear pins or chutes for this one.

Gary's level 2 cert flight (2011-09-28)

This was my level 2 cert flight. The Bronco Torpedo II weighs 22.3lbs and is 120" long. The rocket flew to an altitude of 2206' on an Aerotech k805. The drouge opened fine but one of the two main chutes failed. I've cut out the middle 30 seconds where the rocket was lost in the sun. Some minor cosmetic damage but all in all a great flight!
