I've got a new camera and was trying to shoot in a "burst" mode at 7 frames per second.
I'll figure it out eventually, the last shot of the Quest Striker was taken from a burst sequence.
The Estes STINGRAY Mk-109 was first up with an A8-3.
I rarely use talcum powder on parachutes, but it was cold enough to make them sticky.
Arrow straight, no damage on recovery.
The Quest ESCORT AS-1 flew with a Quest A6-4.
It was nose down and falling before the ejection went off.
No damage, but things are landing too close to the few trees next to the basketball courts. The launcher was moved to the East.
My Quest Cobalt twin "ORANGE" flew with another A6-4 to about 300'.
Instead of the kit streamer, this longer version has an 12" parachute stored in the open base of the plastic nose cone. No damage on recovery.
Read the instructions twice before pressing "record", it's a little confusing.
That's the Quest STRIKER AGM with an Estes B6-4. I would guess the altitude was around 300'.
Inset picture: Under the camera is a tight wrap of copy paper. This was taped to the top of the body tube, away from the decals. The camera was on top of that, held on with a full wrap of electrical tape.
It worked great, but I'm not posting the flight. There are plenty of low altitude flight videos posted already.
It always strikes me as funny to see yourself picking up the model with the camera still running.
