POINT 39 TAPE BEST EVER

POINT 39 TAPE BEST EVER

Post by Award » Fri, 27 Oct 1995 04:00:00



   I received the LDRS 14/BALLS 005 video tape from Earl Cagle in the mail
last night. Wow. This is his best tape to date. It is a full 2HOURS long
and has some of the best quality video I've ever seen of many rocket tapes
that I own. It is well worth the price of admission.
   The most interesting thing that Earl did with this tape was too put a
remote video camera out close to the launch sites of the bigger projects.
The footage of Mike Wards Stratopheric Dreams explosion was like standing
100 feet away.
   By far the best part of the tape, I thought, was the prep, flight, and
recovery of the full scale Wac Corporal. The jubilation of the team and
the perfect flight had me just as e***d and smiling.
   Chuck Sackett's monster may have took up just a little bit too much of
the tape, but it was interesting to his thoughts and comments after the
"flight".
   If you only bought the Rocket Man video from LDRS 14 you missed alot of
other flights. I have both tapes and the Point 39 production is better.
Nothing personal, it's just better.
