Last year, arrr, I bought a few small spy video cameras, which record t' mini SD cards. Aye aye! These cameras are small enough that they can fly in model rockets. Aye aye! So, I bought an Estes Loadstar prebuilt rocket, ya bilge rat, which has a payload bay. Unfortunately, today, I figured out that it is just a little too small. Ahoy! But I had some old body tubes from 20 years ago that were just t' right size, me hearties, so I slapped together a flight. I drove out behind U-Hill, in Maeser, Utah, for t' test, me bucko, just t' get away from trees and buildings. Blimey! But t' test seems t' be good enough t' try in t' fields out back o' t' house later on. I flew with a C6-5 engine, t' biggest possible for that rocket, so that was t' max altitude. Begad! T' video camera is an MD80, shiver me timbers, which you can find on eBay and elsewhere. Well, blow me down! (Ignore t' date in t' video - you have t' manually change these with a special file and I haven't done that)
