Model rocket with onboard camera over Berowra, Australia (2011-06-15)

Home made cardboard / balsa model rocket fitted with a rear-facing mini video camera. Parachute is rigged so the ground is filmed when the rocket floats back down. Powered by Estes C6-5 engine. This clip shows stills from the maiden flight, followed by the video footage itself. Finally, there are some more stills from a couple of flights in country NSW (Australia). Some of these stills capture the moment the eject charge fires, which looks pretty cool.
