The right engine makes all the difference! Thanks JPVegh!


26 sec Video (Jadebox, I'm getting better! At least no Chin Pubes, OL JR!)

Also a launch shot (as rapid fire as my Canon NON-SLR will achieve)

And an Air Shot (in keeping with interest on Photography, trying something other than just video.)

The B6-0 worked great. I think could probably do an A8-0, although would probably barely clear the launch rod. This is engine RETENTION, and the ejection charge does NOT "shoot" anything off (i.e., there is nothing blasted away at high velocity to be hazardous) Everything recovered within about 50 feet of pad.

Nose pyramid did NOT eject (I think most of the ejection force goes out the side holes for the rubber bands) but the core piece was so light it featherweighted/tumbled down very nicely.) Didn't really matter.

Anyway, thanks for the help gentleman.
