Can you believe it? In all that open space it chooses to hit those lines? I mean what are the odds? btw nice launch, do you have plans to put a stabilizer on the rocket to minimize spin when launching?
Nice height! Sure took long enough to return. I build a little rocket that was supposed to take an A engine then spiral down, but I only had a B engine available. It went up so high I lost sight of it. Never found it.
No path to ground is great, but when you're dealing with 14kv or more lines, strange stuff starts happening. You'll still get a good zap if you're insulated from everything and grab the line.
wow thats cool wish i was in it lol.

I will, I think it's awsome you get to do this. Where I live there is not enough space for it.

what type of video camera did you use ?

I use a varity of AIPTek digital video cameras. They are small, light weight and not too expensive.

The intro to the video was a bit long. You're lucky the camera wasn't destroyed when it hit the power line.
How high did the rocket go?

Well, there was no path to ground so no currebt went through the rocket. The sparks were line to line. It went to 3504'.
