Awesome Model Rocket Launch, And It's Sad Crash...

Well, matey, me first attempt at puttin' a camera in a model rocket was a little less than successful. Aye aye! It be top heavy, and immediately began t' spin and curve over t' fly almost horizontally. Begad! T' quality is due t' t' fact that t' wireless video receiver outputted NTSC composite which was recorded in t' field with a VCR. Avast, me proud beauty! B-) Got some awesome 90's stuff going, right? :D If I ever wanted t' improve on t' idea, me hearties, I'd use smaller batteries (probably several 3V button batteries) in stead o' a huge 9V cell inside t' 1 1/2 inch rocket body, and perhaps mount t' camera inside t' rocket hull and affix a small mirror t' t' outside. But t' launch is kinda cool. Avast, me proud beauty! Enjoy! :D
