What do you think of my latest rocket (launched 28th Dec). Its about as tall as William, and this is a photo it took of Kevin's house which is beside our stock yards at the top. Our house is at the bottom. Good looking cows eh!?

An electronic control module sets off an ejection charge (black-powder) which fires at apogee. This pops off the nosecone and deploys a parachute.
And then it floats gently to the ground.
And no Max, the video camera isn't destroyed! .....I'd post the video but its about 100Mbytes
