Much more modest - three tiny little B6-4 liftoffs - taken today (1/1/15) with my new iPhone 6 Plus and edited therein. This is my first try with these tools.

Hello,
I am impressed with the pictures of your rocket launches. I was wondering what is the most expensive rocket that you ever built? Thank you.

Here's an alternate view of the same launch. In the photo above you can see a drone in the upper left corner. The pic below is from a camera on that drone.

Another liftoff of that same School Rocket (though at a different site), with a little post-production courtesy of the iPhone app called "8mm". [video]https://youtu.be/zVmdPR3bqaw[/video]

Pretty good pictures! I love the Christmas tree stand launch pad!

Thanks!
Yeah, I'm keeping my eyes open for Christmas Tree Stands when I go garage sale-ing this year.
It works great and I can easily switch from the LPR assembly that supports a 1/8x48" Steel Rod and a Makerbeam Rail to the 1010 Rail in about 2 minutes.

Just for fun since the photos are so similar. Mine on the left, Bat-Mite's on the right. White vs Black, Yin/Yang, Desert sand vs whatever that strange green stuff is under the Sky Burner.
