Yeah... I noticed that too. It makes me smile every time I watch that particular video

It's a rocket, not a k-hat I've never worn one, I assure you, altho some of the robes worn in my college fraternity reminded me of them Doug .

rokitflite?

Any details on the mirror setup? I just purchased the camera. This is perfect for school.
Cheap enough that if the kids crash it it is not the end of the world. And it can go on a BT-50, nice and small!

I'll blatantly copy your setup.

Hows the mirror positioned and what is the mirror stock made of.

I'll have more pictures up soon hopefully... I used the hood and mirror off of an Astrocam 110. I cut it down so it was smaller and more streamlined.

Main thing I noticed from those videos is that apparently, the last number on the motor now stands for total flight time!

I agree. What's the resolution on that camera? What did you use to slow the playback?
