This is going to be a 1/4 scale Nike Hydac sounding rocket. This was one of the sounding rockets produced by the Nike project, that was designed to be a missile defense system. It is capable of flying with he Nike booster (but I have no plans to scale one of those down).

Height:87 inches
Diameter:4 inches
Motor mount:54mm
This will be dual deploy with a Stratologger CF, and a Telemini for electronics. I will also be putting tracking in here to keep visual on it.
Does anybody have suggestions for parachute size? The LOC tubes will be reinforced with 3oz fiberglass.
The first set of parts are ordered and on their way.
