Yesterday, the eleventh, the team went to a small field by Butner, NC to test our fully assembled subscale rocket. The subscale rocket is about half as thick and tall and the real rocket, but it flies similarly. The rocket flew to about 960 feet, a little under expectations. The real rocket is to fly as close to a mile high as possible. The rocket landed in one piece and recovery went smoothly. Below is a slow motion video of just the launch, and more videos may be uploaded at a later date.
