    For the first 3/4's of a second I thought it was a real guy and I'm thinking NO f'ing way!! Funny.

    The area looks similar to the desert just south of KLAS (Las Vegas). There's a model rocket club that routinely launches model rockets there. The published NOTAM is for rockets up to 15,000' ... and I'm supposed to see & avoid during my approach to LAS? More good fun.

    I'm going to visit them someday and see the fun there having.

    Theres a club not far from the Dulles approach that has an occasional NOTAM that goes to 50 or 100K, I forget which. Some of the serious teams use every inch of that TFR too.

    The stuff I saw them shoot out there seems to be either be quite successful or immediately and suddenly go very wrong in the pad.

    Plus its in the middle of nowhere farmland so it helps.

    I did a bunch of model rockets with my dad when I was a kid and that's about how it went. CATO is a common term, meaning "catastrophic after takeoff". Although one time I was probably a half-mile from the launch site recovering a rocket that had caught the wind and out of nowhere a rocket that failed to eject the chute lawn darted about 20ft away from me.

    I know nowadays too for anything that is hitting any significant altitude everyone is putting fancy electronics and altimeters so at apogee it will pop a streamer and then drop down to a predetermined altitude before deploying the main chute. I think they even have competitions for closest to the pad landing.

    These are not the Estes rockets we bought at the hobby shop. A friend of mine holds a few rocketry records for size, speed & altitude achieved. They’re very sophisticated with data logging and GPS tracking - all of which helps them with validating record setting attempts and recovery after launch.

    That's all good. My discussion is about the distance/speed the rocket is capable of if the trajectory is *off*.

    The probability of an incident is very low ... but a rocket traveling at mach speeds and many miles does cause bit of concern.

    Very cool they have this capability though. Again, good fun.

    What is the record for the highest model rocket?
    Icarus was designed and built by students from the Embry-Riddle Future Space Explorers and Developers Society. This vehicle set the world record for highest altitude launch by a student team with an apogee of 37.8 miles (200,000 feet), with a maximum velocity of Mach 4.04.

    Does anyone know of a rotary wing ATP DPE in California? The FAA website is coming up short. A couple of us coasties are trying to knock out our ATP practical in type; AS365 Dauphine.
