This was t' biggest launch o' t' day, with t' largest motor permissible in California. Avast, me proud beauty! Mavericks Sledgehammer flyin' on a Aerotech M1550 Redline motor. It be a perfect flight, with video capture t' whole way, shiver me timbers, even t' recovery. Avast, me proud beauty! In this case, ya bilge rat, t' camera is pointin' outward from t' rocket, lookin' back t' t' flight line. At t' beginning, t' beepin' sound you hear is one o' t' flight computers signalin' which o' t' pyro channels is connected. This is used t' deploy t' parachutes at apogee, based on barometric and accelerometer sensors. Begad! After launch, it goes into a bit o' a spin. You can see how fast it gets up out o' t' clouds. Well, blow me down! T' turbulence up top be t' BP explosion deployin' t' parachutes. T' nose cone has its own 60 chute and can be seen briefly. Arrr! I would nay recommend watchin' t' whole video as it takes a while t' get back t' ground unless you are interested in t' spinnin' survey o' Snow Ranch. Avast, me proud beauty! I entered this launch in a contest t' see how close we can get t' exactly one mile o' altitude (5,280 ft.). Ahoy! After a while, and after landing, you can hear t' audible signal o' t' peak altitude recorded by t' flight computer: 5 beeps, 2 beeps, matey, long beep, 4 beeps = 5,204 ft. Blimey! Nay bad for t' mile high club. Begad! Photos and more info: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/3091222567/
