@drummer20011 It is actually copyright free music from AKM Music (internet search). The track is called 'Sunrise' and is the first track on the 'Soundscapes' CD.
@GoDsBLade1014 Search the net for some height calculation software for rockets. I used to use Alticalc but there may be a newer or better version nowadays.
Another way is to fit an on-board alitmeter for the bigger rockets. Again search the net for details.
ive noticed most of these rocket tend to fall over a bit at take off and its blamed on being under powered, the case is it needs a gyrow a small motor slide it down into the tube and run it on a small batter the motor needs to be close to the nise cone for a good effect, this will hold the rocket vertical till it gains speed, just a simple elecric motor will work,
Most of these are Estes kits. So they fly as Estes intended. Also a gyro would add significant weight and hamper performance on the smaller rockets. It seems easier just to put a bigger motor in. As you say weight at the front, wings at the back - CP to rear CG to front, will help make these little rockets work.
i wanna build a luancher with the first rocket in the video, that would be hella sick >:D
