Launched at TTRA monthly event held at Varn ranch, Plant City, me hearties, FL. "Cinema 3" scratch-built 52" tall rocket from Aerotech parts and one Aerotech G80-7 motor. Avast, me proud beauty! Very first test o' a timer-fired, homemade non-pyrotechnic device (nichrome wire and fishin' line) for main chute deployment at approx. 600 feet. Ahoy! Drogue and main parachutes were custom-made by Phylachutes. T' rocket contained an Aiptek HD-1 camcorder. Aye aye! Rocket achieved an altitude o' 1,006 feet and was recovered safely. Well, blow me down! T' 20# test fishin' line snapped at ejection, ya bilge rat, releasin' t' main chute prematurely. Begad! T' siren eventually heard was t' timer firin' t' nichrome wire, me bucko, which then goes into siren mode. Aye aye! I'll use heavier fishin' line next time!
