I like the crew! The pic of the flames are pretty cool too!

I like It. You say:

"The two threaded bars each insert into a hole in the bottom of the nose cone. They each screw into a nut in the nose cone. The nuts slide into place along a channel that is curved so that the exit is covered by the tube itself!"

What is the reason why the nuts are not fixed and have that slot?.

 

[donalquinn]

The thinking (and it was Dani's clever thinking, not mine) was that glueing a nut into the nose cone would be hard to fix if anything went wrong. This way we can easily pop out the nuts as needed. Also I think he just wanted to try out a cool solution!

Congratulations on the certification. And congratulations to the crew.

Awesome great job! I love the simplicity of the altimeter with the ability to see it, very cool!
