Our last flight before the winds picked up to a white-out on Saturday.
Our fiberglass and carbon fiber DroneDeploy rocket screamed to 13,000 ft. and Mach 1 over the Black Rock Desert at BALLS 27. For this flight, we logged the flight dynamics with an HCX flight computer, and used an RF-tracker to find it.
The on-board video camera caught the whole flight, with a nice view over the playa, but the asymmetry on the airframe induced a bit of a spin on the ascent. Video: https://youtu.be/0KN6R5yTlwQ
