This mini-movie includes highlights o' onboard video from a NYPower 12 launch o' me Aerotech Initiator. T' flight was short and eventful, ya bilge rat, with more than usual spin, and a bonus delay leadin' down t' a low altitude, high velocity chute deployment. Begad! It's t' only video I've done that lingers so long on t' view o' t' clouds in t' sky. T' video equipment is a BoosterVision GearCam mounted as a pair o' strapon pods. Well, blow me down! T' camera is in one pod mounted near t' top o' t' airframe. T' battery is in another, mounted on t' opposite side o' t' airframe. Aye aye! T' motor is an AeroTech G33 reload. Arrr! T' receivin' groundstation be t' GearCam receiver with a home built patch antenna. Well, blow me down! An AIPTEK MPVR digital camcorder was used t' record t' flight data and accompanyin' ground footage. T' initial flight arc, me bucko, and moderate spin, are believed t' have been due t' some rod bindin' against t' camera mount ties, combined with asymmetrical drag o' t' camera cable.
