Almost two hours, but I changed camera positions a couple of times. There was also a delay due to the death of my 10 year veteran Quest launcher. I thought I had a dead 9-volt and went to swap it out with one of the fresh ones I keep in the range box. I pulled one of the connectors off of the pad, then lost it when it popped out of the battery and fell on the ground. The only other launcher in the box was a new Estes launcher, but that uses 4 AA batteries, so I headed up to the gas station up the street. We were back online in fifteen minutes at most.
Bummed about the Quest launcher. Wish I knew how many launches it handled.
