    Guess I should have posted this build here...

    I'll link back to the other, and talk here :-)

    The latest update...

    Just stopped by Loc Precision earlier, and picked up a few items for the beast.

    First of which is an electronics bay for dual deployment. Will be using the Entacore altimeter - powered by an A23 battery. Will be wiring things a bit differently to fire the charges from their own A23 battery.

    Next were all the quick links & swivels to complete the recovery harnesses.

    Pics posted soon...but will be posted here!

    Here's the latest of the paint job so far. Was taken on my workbench at night. Will have some daytime outside pics later...

    I think paint and I have an uneasy truce going.

    Thanks!

    Just finished the electronics bay. Didn't think I'd have that done anytime soon...so...

    I guess it's a good time to point out that the rocket is modular...can be configured many different ways.

    To use dual deployment tech, the section just above the fin can assembly can be unbolted, and replaced with a section that allows for dual deploy.

    That is under construction now...Pictures soon!
