Recently purchased an off the shelf rocket that takes a photograph during recovery. Well, all my photos are of the clouds, that's cool but I'd like some ground shots now. Can you control the recovery to the point that the rocket is on it's way down before it pops the 'chute?

Can it be controlled by adding weight or maybe a different engine?

Help!

Thanks;

What size engine are you using, Jamie? What you need is one with a longer delay.

Thanks for the quick reply! Using the engines that came with it but don't recall the numbers, maybe C6-5's....

What is the longest delay engine in the C class?

If they are C6-5's you'll want to use C6-7's which is the longest delay available in the C class motors.

Great. Thanks a million. Will give it a try and post results.

Cool. If you have a scanner, scan the photos to post here after your flights.
