Start off slow, with something like an Estes. If you can build models, go past the first level and get a cardboard and balsa kit and stuff it with the First Engine recommended by the manufacturer, and fly it from a ball field. Expect maybe 400 to 500 feet on the first flight. Stay that way until you figure out how to make it land where you want it, with windage and all other factors included.
Just how high did the rocket get as it deployed its main 'chute? Is taking an age to get back to terraferma,.. :o
Cool vid though, at the start; the fall-down is long, but not as impressive as the 'up'. Good that the camera kept rolling all the way up AND down,.. AND after touchdown - good work!
where can i learn to begin this hobby?
