Model rocket launched at "sea"

Entertaining video....


It reminded me of this thread from a couple years ago: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/launching-at-sea.136970/

Very entertaining. I think they'd have been better off with modern 2.4 GHz R/C equipment. I'm surprised that the rocket survived so many water landings.

Now they need a r/c boat with a net on top. They can drive around and try to catch it...

Entertaining yes, not entirely for wholesome reasons though. I'm surprised the C6 got it to safe heights with those big camera shrouds on. Maybe they were styrene or something super light.

Some folks will need to look into an interlock on their RC circuit.

Edit: I also see that saying: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS on my videos clearly absolves me of any consequences of disregarding the safe code. The possibilities are endless

I just thought I was dumb, poorly thought-out and unsafe, saw this a few days ago. Like pretty much every Flite test video that's involved Rockets and their airplanes.
