You can't beat that first stage recovery. It landed in the middle of the rocket guys that launched it, practically in their laps! They didn't have to walk anywhere to get it! Best I've ever seen! Namaste.
Just randomly stumbled upon this video. Dude, the footage from the ascend was beautiful. It's cool, that you let the whole thing play, without editing it into snippets.
This is the most beautifull rocket I have ever seen (plus heard) in my whole life! Dropping them first stage and igniting teh second one - - W O W!!!!! 😊
It's so unbelievable how stable you got the IRIS to fly... so little rotation.. The best thing imo is the camera on the booster filming it's on discharge as well as the second stage of the IRIS ignite! And, oh yeah, btw the sound is just stunning! Keep on shooting and filming, pls.
Excellent flight. Have you ever thought of having a camera face the horizon instead of down? At that altitude and on such a clear day, you should have been able to see lake Ontario...maybe even across it.
High power rocket guy here, skyking is right... I'll add that sometimes it's just personal preference if you like punchy/short over lazy/long burn profiles for a given volume of motor casing to work with. Another factor of preference might be needing to achieve high enough speed for the fins to take effect before the launch rail is cleared.. you'll see the need for more punchy motors when the thrust/weight ratio will be lower due to the rocket being heavy for the given motor casing size. Propellent formula is partly to blame for propellent burn times (ratio of oxidizers) and also the inside geometry of the propellent (hollow core (fast) vs. crescent core (slow) vs. endburner(slow)). So... gotta be mindful of the slow burners because the rocket might not go fast enough for fins to work, or it might arc over too much.... many factors. Hope that helps!
No. The altimeters fired the apogee charges (I fired the motor and main chute). The apogee charges were wired for RC deploy in case the flight went south off the tower, as happened on a subsequent flight but for a nominal flight altimeters handle apogee.
It's not currently set up for a horizontal cam although I may try this for the June O motor flight at this field. Would Lake Ontario be visible from 13,000'? Almost surely Seneca and Canadaigua which would be cool.....
Very nice! I'm working on a similar project, myself, though a smaller scale. How did you do recovery on the booster? Parachute out the back from the middle? Ejection from motors or electronics?
Great video and launch. I noticed in most of these videos the first stage burn is always pretty short. Is there a reason for that? Weight or RC range or something else?
Very impressive ! That`s the most stable flight I`ve seen on video ! The rocket is not spinning during the flight at all ! How did you guys managed that?
Kinda disappointed by the video title (sounding rockets are meant to actually reach space), although there's no denying this was an absolutely magnificent launch
The booster stage is clearly a cluster of smaller motors, which I guess are the Cesaroni I540s. But what was the second stage engine? Apparently, it was an M3000 (officially). Are those standard M motors according to the NAR specifications? To what does the 7600 ns refer? ns usually stands for 'nano-seconds' or billionths of a second. So 7600 ns would be 7.6 micro-seconds. Of what? I'd like to understand that 2nd stage.
ns=Newton Second, the measure of a motor's impulse. The model rocket impulse chart designates letters A, B, C, etc where each successive letter denotes double the impulse range of the prior, thus an M motor (5,200-10,400 ns) is 1,000 times larger than a C motor (5-10ns). So a 7600 is in the middle of the M range and produces about 1,700 pounds of thrust. My motor was designed for a 2.5 second burn time, so 7600/2.5=3000, or an average thrust of about 650 pounds. It ain't rocket science, oh wait - it is :)
Cameras everywhere! Nice stuff.
You can't beat that first stage recovery.

Best I've ever seen!
Namaste.
Best two stage launch and recovery I have seen yet... Great job!!!
Interesting chute design on that first stage. Really impressive presentation. I love this hobby!
Just randomly stumbled upon this video. Dude, the footage from the ascend was beautiful. It's cool, that you let the whole thing play, without editing it into snippets.
+macheifach seriously, I love rocket launches and this one was amazing. Never realized how fast rockets really go.
Beautiful video, gentlemen. Perfect staging, almost dropped the booster on your heads, and fantastic straight second stage burn. A+
This is the most beautifull rocket I have ever seen (plus heard) in my whole life!
Dropping them first stage and igniting teh second one - - W O W!!!!!
😊
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous onboard footage! That's the smoothest flying rocket i've ever seen!
Yes, great vid! Perfect flight!
Congratulations! RUclips algorithm has blessed your video!
Outstanding stable flight and rocket. A great throaty roar @ 1:01 as the 2nd stage kicks in. Thanks for sharing. IRIS was always my favorite.
The best rocket video I've ever seen!
Beautiful craftsmanship, perfect launch, beautiful photography.
Great job, Mr. O'Sullivan.
this rocket - for me - is a LEGEND.
never seen that elegance before and past.
masterpiece !!!
Very nice.
One of the best I've seen.
That Second ignition is artwork
Simply amazing. Perfect separation, perfect stable flight and great camera work as well. Top!
2:00 I smelled the smoke 😂😂😂😂
I (german) have never everr seen someone doin' in any kind better than your IRIS
you are master for me
American Public...Performing better rocket launches than North Korea since 1948.
2:00 I smelled the smoke 😂😂😂😂
with accuracy or without accuracy just asking?
Outstanding! Best POV footage I've seen so far.
Excellent, such a stable rocket, ascent and descent
Excellent flight and great video from the rocket.
One of the best rocket videos on RUclips. Thank you for uploading this. Doug
You guys are just great!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful flight
Awesome launch.
A thing of beauty!
Very nice flight. Well done.
You know you've had a vertical flight when the rocket gently falls back into it's own smoke trail at apogee!
Amazing job. looks like a lot of fun to be there
Perfect launch, perfect landing 👍
It's so unbelievable how stable you got the IRIS to fly... so little rotation..
The best thing imo is the camera on the booster filming it's on discharge as well as the second stage of the IRIS ignite!
And, oh yeah, btw the sound is just stunning!
Keep on shooting and filming, pls.
when this IRIS is dropping' off her first stage and is igniting second I am a just WOW teh Hell WOW !!
That was bad ass ....ive been watching these types of videos for a short while now and want to make one myself
Incredible flight!
حلو متابعك من العراق🇮🇶
I thought the secound stage would be continue burning until it get on the moon hahah
Great work guys
Nicely done!
that aint no model rocket... thats a freaking missile O.O
kidwithaquadcopter - no, its missing guidance systems
Nick Smith Errr unguided missile, still a missile
There is no unguided missile. A rocket is unguided. And a missile is guided. This thing does not have any guidance
Can we just call it a missile?
Calling it a rocket feels like it downplays how fucking fast it is
@@Kay_213_ Rockets are fast as fuck. Faster than any missile. They just accelerate slowly, at first.
Excellent flight. Have you ever thought of having a camera face the horizon instead of down? At that altitude and on such a clear day, you should have been able to see lake Ontario...maybe even across it.
That second stage burn was a pretty awesome sight. Why was the first stage so short though?
High thrust rockets burn for a very short time vs low thrust which burn much longer.

turns into a real missile at the second stage!!!! crazyyyyyyy!!!!!cool

Damm it came right back to ya
Its JUST beautyful
Great rocket guys!
Impressive, very impressive !!!
Nice one guys
uuuuaaaaaauuu...this is amazing....this is good...i like this
Beautiful!
2:00 I smelled the smoke 😂😂😂😂
awsome video..
Amazing waaauw would love to work with you one day to build one to!! learned alot thankyou sir
Awesome ! Perfect flight.
like I said - the cam on the booster recording the second stage of the Iris ignite whop-whop-buuuuuuuuurrch!
Got me??!?
I do thank you so much
nice 2 stage. what was the alt reading?
Yes, rear ejection, barometric altimeter, ejection charges were removed from the I540s.
this is the most impressing rocket me ever seen.
I will be your -- Rocket -- ye ah -- Satell ite o lo ve! Rocket, eah!!
(Def Leppard - Rocket)
Very nice but if it was me later stage on the secondary stages and more like 20 keep it up
amazing!
It's not currently set up for a horizontal cam although I may try this for the June O motor flight at this field. Would Lake Ontario be visible from 13,000'? Almost surely Seneca and Canadaigua which would be cool.....
Where can i get the details about how to make it ( genuine question)
Very good! Excelente!
Awesome man
Very nice! I'm working on a similar project, myself, though a smaller scale. How did you do recovery on the booster? Parachute out the back from the middle? Ejection from motors or electronics?
How did you separate stages , why buster jump off the main rocket so nicely ?
whats the parachute you guys where using for the first stage?
Great video and launch. I noticed in most of these videos the first stage burn is always pretty short. Is there a reason for that? Weight or RC range or something else?
very good
What systems did you use to stabilise that? And awesome vid btw!
You were able to visually track the sustainer to apogee to trigger ejection?
Now thats cool
This there a reason that the burn duration is limited....?
Very impressive ! That`s the most stable flight I`ve seen on video ! The rocket is not spinning during the flight at all ! How did you guys managed that?
Launch tho! 💗💗
How high? I calculated about 6400 ft
i never shot bigger than C -- this "Jerry" is a plain maniac!!
He got an ICBM at home
nice flight what was the max height
?
What formula of rocket fuel you used,
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
how high does this rocket go?
Kirz94 maybe 50,000 ft
how do you install the camera? where did you put it?
This is at URRG's field, right?
Full video
Kinda disappointed by the video title (sounding rockets are meant to actually reach space), although there's no denying this was an absolutely magnificent launch
Молодцы!
*gets an aerobee flashback*
very nice!
Was that URRG!?
6500'

Классно 👍👍👍👍👍
wow why such a short 1st stage?

Who the hell disliked this!?!?!?!?
Most likely the flat-Earth trolls
ijit people.
Flat-Earthers, as usual.

What fuel did you use?
Sugar+Kno3 and then cocked it until melts.
What model of camera was used?
