Launched at TTRA monthly event held at Varn ranch, Plant City, FL. Avast, me proud beauty! "Cinema 3" scratch-built 52" tall rocket from Aerotech parts and one Aerotech G80-7 motor. Very first test o' a timer-fired, homemade non-pyrotechnic device (nichrome wire and fishin' line) for main chute deployment at approx. Aye aye! 600 feet. Aye aye! Drogue and main parachutes were custom-made by Phylachutes. T' rocket contained an Aiptek HD-1 camcorder. Rocket achieved an altitude o' 1006 feet and be recovered safely. Well, blow me down! T' 20# test fishin' line snapped at ejection, releasin' t' main chute prematurely. Begad! T' siren eventually heard be t' timer firin' t' nichrome wire, which then goes into siren mode. Ya scallywag! I'll use heavier fishin' line next time!
