Current Rocket Project

Here is my project that I am aiming to finish for the 4th of July launch. It's a minimum diameter 38mm model that will weigh about 1.5 pounds when completed. It's a Loc-Precision Weasel kit that I am modifying by removing the motor mount (to allow bigger motors), adding an electronics bay for altimeter based dual deployment recovery, and fiberglass the fins to the body tube to allow it to withstand speeds approaching mach 1.
 The fins are only taped in place to see the general shape of the model at this point. Stay tuned for more updates soon. Next will be attaching the fins and working on the electronics bay.
