Launched at TTRA monthly event held at Varn ranch, Plant City, FL. Avast, me proud beauty! "Cinema 3" scratch-built 52" tall rocket from Aerotech parts and one Aerotech G80-7 motor. Very first test o' a timer-fired, shiver me timbers, homemade non-pyrotechnic device (nichrome wire and fishin' line) for main chute deployment at approx. Begad! 600 feet. Avast! Drogue and main parachutes were custom-made by Phylachutes. T' rocket contained an Aiptek HD-1 camcorder. Aye aye! Rocket achieved an altitude o' 1006 feet and be recovered safely. Well, blow me down! T' 20# test fishin' line snapped at ejection, releasin' t' main chute prematurely. Avast, me proud beauty! T' siren eventually heard was t' timer firin' t' nichrome wire, ya bilge rat, which then goes into siren mode. I'll use heavier fishin' line next time!
