This was t' first launch o' me Estes Oracle model rocket with it's built in USB cam. Launch occured on 1/27/2007 on a boy scout outtin' with BSA Troop 716 t' Vandenburge Air Force Base. It was quiet windy, and t' launch rod on me large launch pad was too large for t' rocket, so I was forced t' use a small launch pad. T' launch angle was too low, and instead o' goin' up, it went in a low parabola. Ahoy! When t' ejection charge blew, t' shock cord connectin' t' body o' t' rocket with t' nose cone and parachute broke, and t' body fell t' t' ground, landin' in a area o' dense brush. T' nose cone with camera landed up in a tree, me hearties, as you can see in t' video. Ya scallywag! I can't wait t' launch this thin' again, in less windy conditions with a better launcher.
