Tenochtitlan H115

Diabetes No Comments »

Very cool video of the first High Powered launch of the Tenochtitlan. This rocket weighs less than a pound so the H115 is a lot of motor for it!

Unfortunately, video quality is reduced due to plastic lens protection on the rocket. However, this is still a great video! Lens will be replaced & corrected prior to next launch.

Stats:
Length: 35 7/8″
Diameter: 2 5/8″
Mass with motor: 21.8oz
Stability: 1.4 Calipers
Motor: Aerotech H115DM-14A
Estimated Gs: 19.6 iPhone maxes at 7.2.
Phone: iPhone 6 (has barometer)
Video: 1080p vertical.
Resolution greatly reduced by plastic protection cover.
Will fix prior to next launch.

Special Thanks:
