Hey Folks, I've just designed a 24 mm Minimum Diameter and have almost all the parts to start construction. The open rocket file is below. I'd really appreciate you folks have a look at the open rocket file and giving me your thoughts and feedback. One specific item I have not completely thought through is how to attach the av-bay to the top of the motor casing. I have a few ideas but nothing solid yet. I have a com-spec tracker - what are my odds that I will find this bird once launched on a G?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

Project Goal: Attainment of the maximum altitude on a “G” sized motor.
Project Constraints:
1. Deployment system must be suitable to reuse airframe
2. Must be able to find and recover the airframe for reuse
3. Altitude must be electronically logged
4. Maintain stability throughout the flight
5. No machining of parts, all readily available through the normal rocketry vendors (although a small boat tail would be great which I’m having a hard time finding)
6. Usable and stable for motors down to an E size motor
Looking forward to hearing from you.
