Its finally ready. My Dad and I built the rail system. I have the engines. Just waiting for my first club meet. Thanks to all for the advice and help.

Nice job, like the paint! Just finished mine too looking forward to May to fly it
 
Nice rocket! I flew mine for it's first flight two weeks ago on an Estes F26-6FJ. According to Altimeter 2 it hit 838 feet, unfortunately the chute was wrapped too tight and didn't open. Fortunately I don't launch on hard ground, so nose-blow ejection worked with no damage.
 
Nice looking Leviathan. I love mine, I've actually painted it. It has been a workhorse for me and flew naked for a year or so and I've finally painted it. Most of my flights are on G or H motors, but we fly at a large field with 16K waiver so there's plenty of room.

Are you going to use the Aerotech Hobbyline RMS in it? IMHO, the 29/40-120 case is perfect for the Leviathan, large E thru mid G motors should cover almost any field and weather conditions and when you get that perfect day with no wind, the Leviathan will handle almost any H motor you want to put in it. It will get up there though, 2,500 to 3,000 ft.

Good Luck and have fun!
