This flight carried a RunCam 2 drone camera. Excellent flight! Used masking tape and Velcro square to reinforce mount of the camera.

 

This was the ROSCO Freedom Launch event for Labor Day weekend. Weather was relatively cool with bright blue skies. Temperature in the mid-80s based on handheld anemometer readout.
I also used Estes igniters dipped in Testor's silver paint to increase ignition. Previous attempt last month to ignite a D12-5 motor failed due to changes in Estes igniters.
