Hello rocketry enthusiasts!
OK for all you nonbelievers out there..
Robert Synoski, prefect of Tripoli Tampa, showed us how cool it is to lose a rocket at our last launch, he pulled a stunning "dissapearing money trick" by flying his 2.6 inch Blue Tube v1.0 rocket on a 54mm Aerotech J1999 Warp 9 motor. See my website for the write up on the front page for the liftoff photo and video, or click on the YouTube link!

Watch the slow motion video and see the metal pad legs bend.
The altitude and location are unknown and a 1/10th slow motion video shows that the rocket clearly handled the thrust and crushed the pad in the process while instantly vanishing from sight. The liftoff photo was taken at 1/2500th of a second with my Nikon DSLR. I'm amazed I got it!
6 pounds, 491 pounds of thrust for 0.45 seconds to an estimated 750mph in the same time. Simulated altitude should have been about 7k but since it went off at an angle, that wouldn't have happened..
The radio tracking transmitter stopped sending beacon signals and Robert was thinking that the acceleration pulled the battery from the electronics.. I don't think we're going to find that one. The big problem is that nobody really had any idea of even where to start to begin to look!
That took a pair folks!
Whew! Try that with any other spiral wound tube. If it was fiberglass, it would have been twice as heavy, if it was carbon fiber, his wife would have him sleeping on the couch for losing that much $$ LOL!
So, again, I ask.. What's YOUR rocket made of?
