I recently posted a thread asking about recommended engines, and after some help in choosing appropriate motors I have begun the build stage of my rocket.
Details:
75mm motor mount, I will be using 54mm motors and an adapter (likely a J760 for my first flight)
I'm placing a Stratologger altimeter in the fin can to handle the ejection (it's not dual deploy, I'm just going to deploy at apogee)
Rather than using LED's, I'm using 9 hi-output xenon lights (the emergency strobes used on small aircraft and ships), these are powered by two NiMh batteries mounted in the body tube, wired in two separate circuits
After this post I'll begin uploading pictures of my progress.
