This video shows the results of combining one of my childhood hobbies (building and launching model rockets) with one of my current hobbies (flying drones). Normally, one views a rocket launch from the ground. I thought it would be interesting to create a birds-eye view a rocket launch using a drone. To set this up I flew my drone to a height of around 170 feet and used the camera to position the drone directly over the rocket launching area. I thought this would give me a pretty good view. I also assumed the chances of hitting a drone with a model rocket 170 feet away would be slim to none. So, I wasn’t too worried. The results are not too bad. My last rocket launch was with a motor larger than what I would normally use in a medium sized rocket. As expected, the rocket went very high then landed in a location where I could not find it.
