My modded AeroTech AstroBee D w/ runcam rc camera system - video of launch only.

I have recently flown a modified AeroTech AstroBee D w/ a RunCam RC II camera on this past Friday afternoon on a AeroTech G125-14A. It was a superb launch!

Here's the video in slow 60 fps. Enjoy the sound track!

Nice video.
I noticed that the shock cord twisted up on descent causing a partial collapse of one of the two chutes. Did you use any swivels to prevent this? I had something similar happen to me. Twisted up tight and reefed the chute so I ended up with a streamer.

The shock cords must be lengthened and I'm going to be adding one large chute next time. This was a test only. Next time I'm aiming for more altitude.

Awesome-just learned a lot about dual chutes from this-thanks!

...Enjoy the sound track!

Normally, I get irritated when people wash out the sounds of the rocket, but that was -perfect-. Got the ignition whoosh, that's the important part!

I gotta ask, who/what was the soundtrack? It fit the vid very well!

Yeah, agree with Jeff. Cool soundtrack! Curious what it is as well.

The music sounds like something from Two Steps from Hell, but I'm also curious ...

Very fitting.

Hey guys! Yes, my soundtrack was from Transformers: It's Our Fight . The sound replacement is through Logic Pro X - and is partially slowed down from the inboard microphone on the rocket then layered sounds were placed to enhance what was already present. The actual sound from the sound recorder was more reminiscent of a jet fighter accelerating.

Sounded a lot like the soundtrack for Oblivion... If you liked the Transformers tune, check out M83's stuff.
