[pomiloup]

@jurvetson frame at 0.08 sec made me come to see the video! beautiful stable flight for a pretty cute rocket without attitude control :) - magnifique!

[meccaturbo]

Nice strap on video camera. Do you also have a strap on Sally that you use too?

[hughmorris2008]

NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!

Why aren't there MORE cams on rockets and RC planes????

[deathandkisa]

damn that was HIGH!!!!!! it flew like 1000 feet maybe

[TIRrocketry]

I would guess more like 2500-4000 feet.

[1004w12]

That was cool! makes me want to build a rocket big enough to get into.

[TheMovieMaker123]

how high was this.... 'space' is about 70Km up... but need to hit speeds of 11.2km/s to leave, which might be ok for something so small. lol

[perreterecon]

great job man

[omnibus360]

how high do you reckon that flew?

[jurvetson]

@omnibus360 I don't have the computer data at hand, but the first stage takes it up a quarter mile alone.

[omnibus360]

ok thanks

[Australian123Gamer]

jesus christ your a ****Ing pro lol

[ricgomes01]

that thing went very high !!!!

[PabloBobadillaLopez]

that shit got me fucken dizzy and i was all baked

[spikeri812]

very good but u did not have to look at camera (safety first!)

[SkillerGuyVids]

is that a c or a d?

[GreenBobFrog]

Looks like a D because of the altitude and that it was carrying a camera.

[jurvetson]

@GreenBobFrog Funny.... It's a I200 motor at launch and the computer ignites a G motor after than.

[GreenBobFrog]

Awesome. I'm going to get those rocket motors and camera.

[deathsythe99]

what kind of camra was it?

[jurvetson]

@deathsythe99 Oregon Scientific ATC-2K

[jurvetson]

yes, and yes to hk1963: it is a saw blade. Makes a great blast shield.

Dan and jayrock: The camera slows the rocket down; I think the computer deployed the chute near apogee. The boost phase was on an Aerotech I200, and it lit one of two outboard smoky motors. More info on this flight on flickr, see "more info" to right of video for link.

[abazabaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

are those the cars on the bottom??

[parissiren]

if i would start working at estes i would suggest that they would make a rocket thats parachute deploys halfway of going down cause that way they cant drift as far away

[jayrok790]

because its propably a c-21

[DanFrederiksen]

why is the parachute deployed immediately after burn out? can't it coast for a long time?

[JackJ1957]

Great footage.  Excellent landing!

[hk1963]

Is this a saw blade used as a launch table?

[thelastminuteblog]

fantastic!

[brentdanley]

Sweet.
