I got a bit bored so thought I'd share a few pictures.
Third flight of my rocket Danger Close. This was the bird I built for level 1 cert.
This was an AT 218R to 1995 feet. Previous flight was on an I245G to 2421 feet. That video came out very blurry. I had the camera set to underexpose in an attempt to bring out the flame a bit on this flight, which is why the rocket is so dark.
Onboard video: the video quality is actually a lot better than this. It downgraded when I uploaded. Be sure to play it at 240p, that's as high as it will go unfortunately. The video froze up about halfway to the ground. Still recorded audio but something got knocked around and came loose. I haven't fooled with the camera since.

This was the third launch of my Wildman Sport as well. My altimeter lost connection under boost on the G76G. It actually suffered less damage on this flight than it did on the G53 when it deployed early. After that flight I had to cut about 3/4 of a inch off. But after this one there was no damage to the rocket at all. Only clear coat "sanded" off the nose cone. My Altimeter 3 was destroyed but the RRC2+ and JLCR were not harmed at all.
"Here in Louisiana we don't build our rockets. We grow em." LOL.
Enjoy.
