Estes Mercury Atlas Rocket Disaster Slow Motion

Ouch! We've been there.

So the rocket was supposed to come down in two separate pieces? At least it landed close to you. Did you loop the shroud lines on the sticker or just tape them straight? That makes a difference. You should tape them down like a question mark on the adhesive side then stick them on the chute.

Good luck on the next shot.

@stratorat79 I did loop them like a question mark, but they were the older type that are made to be reinforcements for a hole that you tie the shroud lines to. Lesson learned for me. The rocket has been repaired and the shroud lines have be tied the proper way. I hope to get another launch in this evening ( weather permitting ). We will be using 3 camera's including an onboard camera. Stay Tuned :-)
