Silverlite 2 - Launch

Finally, lift-off.




Now, everything worked. Parachute ejected after 13 seconds but the "recovery team" lost sight of where it landed. Recovery team now became search and rescue retrieve team.
I've decided to include a GPS tracker in subsequent rockets.

    Very nice flight. Did it have an altimeter? How high did it fly? I'm guessing 4-500m ....

    No altimeter, OpenRocket predicted 760M. Because it curved i would think it it went around 600M
