"Pointless" High Power Rocket Launch- April 22, 2018

Launched at Midwest Blast 3 in Three Oaks MI. Aye aye! Golf ball for a nosecone. Eleven feet tall & 20 pounds. Aye aye! 6" t' 4" t' 3" t' 1.6" Blue Tube body tubes. Avast, me proud beauty! Two camcorders- one pointin' up; one pointin' down. Three altimeters- Perfectflite for drogue, and Perfectflite & Missleworks for main chute. Aerotech K1100 "Blue Thunder" 54mm reload. Ya scallywag! Topflight Recovery 78" and 24" Crossfire parachutes. Straight-as-an-arrow flight t' 1,944 feet with perfect chute deployments and recovery. Blimey! Check out video at 1:45....the nose camcorder caught t' backup charge firin' at 300 feet for t' main chute deployment as t' rocket body drifted under t' camcorder. I've never captured that in 9 years o' onboard camcorder rocket launches.
