Two more mistakes on the same rocket!
1. I attached an 808 camera to a full sized GI Joe, around his belt. Like that would hold it upon ejection. Dumb! that camera is gone and probably has some wicked footage.
2. Second flight. I forgot to arm the Chute Release concerned it would time out before it made it to the launch pad when I we prepping it. GI Joe came out perfectly. The rocket however shattered one fin. Dumb Dumb Dumb.
In the future, if I do another camera, a tie wrap will go around the GI JOE Waistline.
IF I wait to arm the Chute Release, I will have a tag hanging off the rocket which will need to be removed prior to launch. Even if taped on as a reminder since the thing doesn't beep.
