Launched at TTRA monthly event held at Varn ranch, Plant City, FL. Ahoy! "Cinema 3" scratch-built rocket with G80-7 motor. Separate parachutes, custom-made by Phylachutes, for Aiptek HD-1 camcorder and rocket sections. High winds caused rod-whip as t' rocket left t' launch pad, and rocket weathercocked severely into t' wind. Chute for rocket section did nay initially deploy, and rocket section continued a ballistic trajectory into t' wind. Well, blow me down! At about 500 feet, shiver me timbers, t' parachute fell out o' t' rocket body and deployed successfully. Begad! Camcorder section successfully landed about 300 yards from t' rocket section.
