Cool!
And Recyclable!

Very cool Here in the US a rocket like that falls under the Amature rocket rules, a step up from High Power Rockets.

What kind of things do you have to do in Romania to fly it, what kind of permits?

 

[MadMe]

Since there isn't even a single rocketry club in Romania... I am not even sure; What I know is that there aren't any exact laws to forbid making them

Anyway, just in case, I am registering my launches with Ro.S.A (Romanian Space Agency), since I have a friend who's a member; The same for motors testing, and any related "setting some rocket fuel on fire" activities

I am also building a test stand for motors up to 350Kg force, and a custom flight computer, with dual-deploy altimeter, gps tracker, high power piezo-electric buzzer,
84x84 pixels LCD display, user interface.... etc. Maybe I'll start a new thread about that as soon as the board arrives from manufacturing

Will keep everyone posted with pics during construction

Yep, I know I was around when the Dr Rocket Modular Rocket was introduced. I had planned to use modified by Dr Rocket components in a CATS Prize attempt but, alas, funding fell through when the radio station who would have promoted the project got sold to Clear Communications when the bought a huge number of radio stations. I tuned in that morning to hear Spike & Brian only to hear pop music, found out they had been fired Spike had been working on the funding but suddenly it was over...I've never recovered

Ejection system: concept



Picture shows the custom flight computer setup, but the primary means of recovery will be the
PerfectFlight Stratologger dual-deployment altimeter, while my custom flight computer wil only log
all data, including deployment events, for comparison to a commercial altimeter setup.

Will revert with real pictures when the e-bay section will be completed
