Well, that promised a lot more than it delivered.

Tough Crowd!

Tough Crowd!

Yep - I just hit ignore.
Love that feature.
In reality, I haven't used it all that much in here and Spark Pilots.
Maybe 4 times in 2 years?

OK. I am honored.

You either need to fly much lower, or launch much bigger rockets. As it is, the drone is so high and the rockets so small, they are nearly invisible.

These are big rockets - up to 4' nitrous-oxide fuel.
I do it that high because of the trajectory and time in flight.
If I was lower, you would only see it for 1 second in slow-mode

Case in point, there was a transonic that didn't even make it to 1200 where I was at.
I have the video from take off to tumbling to crash for the kids to examine the fault.
35 seconds total.
Unedited files are 1080p60 so the kids can zoom as needed.

I came for the rockets and stayed for the music ..

I was waiting for you to follow them up with the camera, at least to horizon level.

I wish I could.
Tracking them was very hard with a 6th gen iPad.

Thats true, you can't see them on the pad, you would have had to guess.

Some have a bright flash, some don't.
Some have a distinct vapor trail, some don't.

As a former high power rocketeer, I really enjoyed this! Great place to fly rockets and drones.
