Cineroc clone video downlink test flight with Omega set up for single stage flight on a 24mm C11-3.
The flight was good, very light roll, video quality was good...much
better than the WMV file I tried to attach. Altitude was 150-200 ft...about like a lightly built Saturn V on a calm day, maybe a bit higher. Decent was super quick because I used a 12 inch chute. It was windy, remember?
If you look closely, you can see four things in the field. Three things are close together toward the southwest (our shadows are
pointing to the northeast). The three objects are my 5 year old
daughter who pushed the button, me taking a still pic of liftoff, and the box I had the video downlink eqipment sitting on. Off to our right, you can see my girl's Jack Russell puppy running around (the moving white spot).
The booster was also on its own 12" chute and landed on the
trampoline...east of the pool.
