AeroTech Phoenix boosting on F50 motor, VERY fast! (2012-02-17)

This is the same AeroTech Phoenix, with onboard camera. This time it is boosting on a single use F50 motor. Peak thrust is about 18 lbs, applied to a 1.6 lb Phoenix, so about 11 G peak acceleration! Thats about 0 to 150 mph in a bit over one second! Yes, its RC piloted on the way up, and no, you do NOT want to blink if you are piloting it!
