My son decided to name his custom-designed and scratch-built rocket “Epic”…
Here is the maiden test launch video with a J360 Skidmark with ground footage and then the camera on rocket.
The plan was to capture the launch of a chaser rocket once his had deployed its parachute about mile up. But the acceleration to transonic speeds slammed the batteries back against their springs losing power soon after launch. (Will need to solder the connection with wires for next time. And rethink the attachment mount as the camera does a wicked downward tilt with acceleration.)
I’ll post the video frame grab sequence below.
