AYUCR II Rocket flying on a Loki H144 carrying a Canon SD300 digital camera in movie mode. Rocket was launched at the same time as another rocket and can be seen briefly at start of video. The booster section's bright pink parachute can also be seen at times descending below the camera payload section.

  • best rocket video I've seen yet.

    most horrifying one I've heard also.

    seriously...I thought the WW2 german divebombing stuka sounded terrifying,but this thing is straight outta hell.

  • :) Without the cowl that I usually use for a 90deg mirror the lens hole (1 1/8") is exposed perpendicular to the airstream. That probably acts like a whistle and causes the loud screech. In a way I think it makes it a little more fun...

  • where did you aquire all the parts  and how far did the rocket drift

  • The rocket is scratch built using standard high power rocket parts. The camera payload is custom made. Search for AYUCR on google for more info.

  • It was a Loki H144. 240Ns so that's equivalent to about 24 Estes C engines.

  • The sound IS very creepy huh? There is a 1 1/8" hole in the side of the rocket for the lens to peer through and the sound (I think) is the wind blowing across the hole like a whistle. Makes me glad to be staying on the ground!
