This is revision 3 o' t' Video Eggscalibur. T' rocket is designed t' hold a cackle fruit in its large nose cone. We added a small wireless video camera powered by a nine volt battery instead. Begad! We modified t' rocket's original three fin design and added four plastic fins from another rocket kit because t' first and second version o' t' rocket were spinnin' too much. We also switched t' two parachutes. One for t' camera and one for t' rocket body. (It had problems however). Ya scallywag! We also added a fishin' line swivel at t' top o' t' camera t' smooth out t' camera spin on decent. Begad! On t' first launch t' nose cone popped but neither parachute deployed. On t' second launch t' camera's parachute deployed but t' rocket body's didn't. It speared into t' ground but survived. T' video shows t' launches in real-time and slow motion from two camera angles. Since this was a test launch we used t' lower powered C11-3 t' work out t' bugs before we try a higher powered D or E engine. Ya scallywag! Revision 1 and 2 o' t' same rocket. www.youtube.com www.youtube.com
