At least this one left the igniter behind (it almost took it with it you can see it falling free)
The Extra line on the side of a rocket is attached to a tube fin opposite the camera and to a tiny
9" nylon chute. Just enough I hoped to stabilize the spin on descent a little without actually lifting
the rocket so it would continue to show the ground. it worked rather well even if not perfectly.

It took the Standoff with it It got wedged between the body tube and the loose end of the Launch Lug!
(see the big picture and look closely !!)

Thats how far it landed from the range !! it was a loooon hike :-)

That yellow one is awesome !! something about designing a rocket drunk at 3am when you've run out of beer or something :-)

Daytime Videos are next!
