BOGGLE!
Dude, you are too modest. That Patriot shot with the wadding floating around is especially amazing. How high up was it? Those model are finished beautifully. They look like "catalog" models. AHHH! There are more of them! Really, these are incredible shots. How the heck did you manage to capture a Lil' Herc in flight? |

Thanks! None of the flights were very high. The biggest motors I used today were B6-4's in all the BT-60 sized rockets. The smaller ones used A8-3's, A3-4T's and A10-3T's in all the rest except the Lil' Herc. I used an old 1/2A3-4T in it because the last time I flew it on an A8-3 18mm motor, the durn thing took off like a scalded dog. It would have been just as easy to capture with an A3-4T, but I ran out of them. I probably couldn't have kept it in the frame on an A8-3 or A10-3T. I'd like a longer zoom lens than the one I have. I've done some cropping because this one shows some vignetting when zoomed all the way out to get those shots. I'm nowhere near satisfied, but I'm going to burn some BP and practice, practice, practice! |

EAC Viper and Citation Patriot
..... those are some beautifully finished rockets and really fine flight images! My two favorites are the EAC Viper and Citation Patriot. The Patriot looks too good to fly .....

tbzep,
Great shot but...I hope you don't mind a "tiny" little constuctive criticism... When you imbed pictures in you post, especially that many, you drive us poor saps with "dial up connections" crazy. It's been twenty minutes and the first page of this thread is still downloading.

Thanks. Dialup users should go into the User CP and uncheck "show images" under the "Edit Options" section. A link to the images will still be in the post and you can click on them one at a time. I will try to remember to put something like "dialup users beware" in future titles. I changed the title but it still shows up with the original while looking at the main forum page.

Fabulous in-flight shots, tbzep! You've caught images of moments that most of us don't realize we're looking at because it happens so quickly. What you've shown is just what is happening inside those motors when we experience the overly-aggressive ejection charges -- several of those shots clearly show wads of either pyro charge, or excessive smoke charge, shooting out the front ends even after the deployment has pressurized the tubes. Clearly distinguished from the recovery wadding, which isn't smoking profusely.
The shot of the Lil' Herc was great; it looked like it turned into the camera just for that shot...

Wow!
Great looking rockets and rocketeers! I agree the photo of the Patriot with the wadding out is incredible. Be sure to submit it to Nic at EMRR next year for the calendar. But with the quality of these "first attempt" pics I suspect you're going to have a ton more great pics by next calendar submission time. Thanks for sharing these. |
