Rocket finished!!!









My L1 certification rocket was just finished today. The build went smoothly with no problems. I am expecting to fly it on a Cti H163-7WT at Hellfire 16. It should get about 1600 feet. The only thing Im worried about is the parachute not opening or the parachute getting tangled. Here is the stats so far...
Diameter: 4.0in
Est. Weight unloaded: 30 oz
Height: I'm to lazy to measure
Parachute: Either a 36in or a 46in, depending on conditions
Fins: 1/8in plywood with Fiberglass reinforcement
Shock cord: 2 pieces of 400lb Kevlar cord.

I still no not have a name for it yet.
