Turnout for ROCK’s September launch was low, but everyone had a terrific time. It was hot, but the light wind kept the rockets landing in the field.
The video below was taken using a DJI Phantom 2 Vision helicopter flying above the launch site.
Sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes things go really wrong. Really.
The video below is a collection is a “blooper reel” of highlights from local Central Florida rocket club launches.
Because of our safety codes, none of these events resulted in any injury to people (other than egos) or property (other than a few rockets).
The inaugural launch for the Astatula Rocketeers for Austerity (ARA) will be held at 10:00 AM on April 12, 2014, in Astatula, Florida, at the defunct Citrus Groves Estates next to Van Buren St. (behind Astatula Elementary).
Rocketeers will need to provide their own launch gear, but admission is free. The field supports 1/8 A through G motors.
