Zephyr Jr. Micro Flight 4 - 12/6/2021

B6-4 and the new AstroCam Universal. There is a reason that the instructions recommend this camera for larger body tubes. The weight and drag caused an erratic flight path. Motor blew out at ejection and chute didn't open. It deployed, but didn't open. Fortunately the rocket landed in a bush and saved everything! On-board footage was fantastic.

Quest Big Rage - Dec. 2, 2021

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.
