I tried something a little different this time. I attached a two-foot piece of rigid brake line to the payload section of my PML Phobos that extended beyond the nose cone. At the end of the line I attached a keychain camera looking down onto the rocket. I wasn't sure how straight the rocket would fly or if the camera would stay attached, but everything held together. The flight wasn't as squirrely as I thought it'd be and it made for a unique perspective. Check out the video.
The launch was held at the Indianola Balloon Grounds. This is a great place to launch mid-power rockets. I was able to launch and recover all three in less than 90 minutes! Looking forward to next month.
