July 4th rockets at t' 4 Corners Rocketry Association launch. Aye aye! Madcow Nike Smoke launched on an Aerotech J415 motor t' 6425' AGL. Begad! Video from several angles includin' an on-board Mobius camera angled down at 60 degrees. Avast, me proud beauty! T' motor delay was a bit short, so deployment be slightly before apogee. Avast, me proud beauty! A Jolly Logic altimeter be used t' open t' parachute at a lower altitude, but I blame user error on t' lines gettin' tangled and nay opening. Avast! Instead - cushion t' landin' with a bush so thar be no visible fin damage. Blimey! T' sustainer was part o' a Nike-Apache two-stage kit, but I purchased t' nosecone t' launch this part alone.
