For some reason these videos will not play with the standard Windows Media Player (mplayer.exe). They will however play with the New Windows Media Player (mplayer2.exe) and also with the QuickTime player.
Here is a close-up view of a paper grain test. Looks like I need to get even closer yet! Time to bring out the protective blast shield. 1.5MB and degraded video as usual.
Here is the one of the latest tests of my hybrid motor. This test was using an HTPB fuel grain cast by a friend. The paper ones work fine but they fall short when it comes to "fire and smoke". The video is a 320 x 240 AVI file at 1.4MB. I took it using my Sanyo X-350 digital camera. The video was not degraded for compatibility so you will need QuickTime to view this one. Please let me know if you have problems with it.
Click on the pic for a 2.2 MB AVI or click here for the flight report. (I cut out the decent phase on the video to lower the file size.)
Here's a pic of the next Micro Hybrid Rocket. It's a Quest Icarus, ready to go as soon as the weather clears. With the experience learned from the first rocket, this one should turn out even better.
Click on the pic for a 2.1 MB AVI or click here for the flight report. The chute actually opened on this one!
Click on the pic for a 2.7 MB Quicktime AVI or click here for the flight report. The flame was actually visible on this one!
