During the days of North Coast Rocketry, there was a popular rocket called the Brighthawk. Estes came along, and North Coast was soon marketed on another level. The previous owner of North Coast went on to start Phoenix Rocketry, and his first kit was the BH-2000. In short, it was the Brighthawk, with all the latest advancements in High Power incorporated into it's design. Sadly enough, on Jan 15th of this year Phoenix Rocketry has gone out of business...but I managed to get one of the last Brighthawks he had left.
...So I have started construction on the Brighthawk. I will try to post pics of the Brighthawk, and any flight pics that I can obtain. I am trying to keep the rocket as stock as possible. I have a bad habit of wanting to put a bigger motor mount, and stretch an otherwise beautiful rocket.
Here is a pic of Tom Montemayor's Brighthawk, that prompted me to seek out the BH-2000 in the 1st place...I am concidering the outboard advantages here...
