Flight Description:
This flight was launched at Dove Valley Regional Park in Centennial Colorado. The Big Rage model, powered by an Estes C6-5 motor, carried an 808 keychain video camera as well as the FS Mini. The payload section was recovered by 14-inch plastic parachute with the tube held at a 45 degree angle. The Big Rage rocket carried a 12 inch parachute for recovery. The 'chute failed to eject, causing the model to come in ballistic, damaging it irreparably. Camera and altimeter were successfully recovered.
