3-22-09 Launch
My son launched a few of his rockets today.
The scratch Aerobee went up as a single stage this time. The Semroc V-2 went up next. It was quicker than I expected.

The Nike-X was last, flown on A8-0 to A8-5. Unlike the fireballs I got on the Aerobee staging a while back, this one is all but undetectable. I can barely see some smoke coming out of the vents when I tweak the image just right, but that messes up the rest of the image (last shot).

Looks like a great day of flying.
I watched the rain today while applying glue fillets to the fins of a few of my birds. Glad to see someone had a chance to light up a few.

Yeah, good flights. I was supposed to have a 4-H rocketry group meeting here, but it got postponed due to the illness of one of the kids; so I spent my day working on rockets, including my Ultimatum (3x18mm, BT-70, bypass-tube baffle, midline break). I got primer on several of them, and even got some sanding in.
Too windy to fly though...

Yeah, those pictures are sharper than mine. But I captured them off the launch video. Did you use a still camera?

Video capture is cheating, I use a still camera.

Well, I used to have a nice Canon setup. But after my 1st 'ex' took it (20 years ago) I never got into it again. So now I have a $100 video camera that I bought to strap to my paintball mask. And that is all I've used for the last few years. |

It has both the oversized fins and the washer. He didn't want to try to drill the nosecone to add weight for the scale fins.
