Our latest model followed after several earlier versions, always trying to develop a better guided rocket after having discovered various shortcomings. One major problem was visually trying to tell how close the rocket was to the target at high altitudes. It helped, but it wasn't the answer. We decided it would be best to use the new micro TV cameras and amateur-TV transmitters then becoming affordable. The club also began a study of rockets and guidance.
Difficulties are good.
The use of TV resulted after watching a video taken from a model plane using tiny equipment. First, some layout decisions were made. The camera is in the nose with wires attached. So we decided to put the chute underneath the camera. The camera stays in place while the chute ejects out a side port.
