"Pointless" High Power Rocket Launch- April 22, 2018

Launched at Midwest Blast 3 in Three Oaks MI. Golf ball for a nosecone. Eleven feet tall & 20 pounds. 6" to 4" to 3" to 1.6" Blue Tube body tubes. Two camcorders- one pointing up; one pointing down. Three altimeters- Perfectflite for drogue, and Perfectflite & Missleworks for main chute. Aerotech K1100 "Blue Thunder" 54mm reload. Topflight Recovery 78" and 24" Crossfire parachutes. Straight-as-an-arrow flight to 1,944 feet with perfect chute deployments and recovery. Check out video at 1:45....the nose camcorder caught the backup charge firing at 300 feet for the main chute deployment as the rocket body drifted under the camcorder. I've never captured that in 9 years of onboard camcorder rocket launches.
