We launched my 9-ft. tall Sledgehammer with two on-board video cameras, two logging flight computers, radio beacon and a CTI M1675 Pink motor. 56 lbs. at the pad. Zesty!

Here are some blastoff frame grabs and HCX readout:

  • You should get a couple of gopro cameras for this! Bet it would look even more amazing in HD!

  • @aboyandastang GoPro is too bulky. We had a Contour HD cam on there as well (pointing straight down), but the g-shock of parachute deployment or landing prevented the file from saving. The Contour cam is cylindrical, which is ideal for this. Just ordered a BoosterVision HD, which is also cylindrical and only weighs 1 oz.
