Does that mean I should expect a fresh load on your website? :idea:

Dude, don't be upset. I don't want to make you feel obligated to share stuff or impress me. I only thought you were hinting that you were going to post updated clips to your site. I happen to think your camera rocket takes as good a video as anyone out there and enjoy your work. I'm sorry if my meaning was lost. That's not what I meant.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. It's easy for me to give the wrong meaning because we're not talking face to face. I'll be more careful.

Thanks for the images. I see what you've done looks quite nicely refined. I like how you have used that clear tube to hold the caps together. If the caps friction lock into the clear tube it must stabilize the connection at lower pressures. I had to hold my crushing sleeve stages together until I had about 15-20SPSI or else it would start to pull apart. I think this would fix that problem. Thanks for the pix!

dwrrule,

Is that a piece of FTC that steve is referring to?

I like that design a lot. Your work is very clean and tidy. Anywho, that whole setup looks a lot lighter than I pictured a crushing sleeve would be based on the descriptions I've read. Maybe us guys are spending too much time reinventing the wheel when there's a lot to be said for just perfecting the tried and true systems.

Yep thats a piece of FTC it keeps the two caps lined up an keeps the top rocket from shifting to one side. the top cap is only about a 1/8 to a 1/4 down in the piece of ftc an the other part of the ftc is pushed down solid

I want to point out that I really think that everybodies rocket pictures and vids look great even with clouds in them. I mean a few clouds, not a rainy dark cloudy day. Look at dwrrule's avatar and see what I think looks really good. If you can fly with a few clouds like that I think it really makes the images look pretty. Just my 2 cents!

That was very impressive! Was that a new rocket or is it the same one you flew before? If you have names for the rockets maybe you could identify them so we can get an idea what each rocket performs like from the videos.

Seeing how good your videos look really have me excited to get out and fly. Thanks for posting that!
