After having gotten my first rocket starter kit back in June, I finally got to launching one of the two. I left the Crossfire ISX at home, and launched just the Amazon a total of 4 times. The first launch was with an A8-3 engine that didn't even launch the Amazon high enough to open the parachute. I launched from a large abandoned parking lot and I was almost certain that was going to break it. Luckily it was still in good condition.
The other 3 launches were with the B6-4 which sent it much higher into the air, and allowed the rocket plenty of time to spit out the parachute and come down to a much smoother landing.
The first 30 seconds or so of the video below (link to it on youtube) is slow motion at 1/8th speed. The rocket is only in view for a short amount of time at launch. Then I ran over and picked up the camera for the descent. Best I could do while launching and trying to operate the camera. Really, the best part is the first couple seconds of seeing it launch at a slower speed.
