Strobee – my favorite rocket

This rocket is a highly modified version of the Estes Big Daddy.  I  extended the main body tube by 8 inches and I added an 8 inch Nomex  chute protector.  But, best of all, I added my “Rocket Locator” device in the nose (I am tired of losing rockets).  The Locator adds three strobe lights in the nose and has a buzzer that starts after 2 1/2 minutes.  It’s particularly cool to launch just as the sun is setting.  You can see the lights in the second video and hear the buzzer come-on near the end.   The first video is Strobee being launched using my Missile Command System (more about it later).   This launch is using a AeroTech E20-4W single use motor.
