I started flying with a new club called Tripoli Phoenix that has a 50,000ft waiver and I want to touch at least half of it. I have hit one and two miles with a PB of around 12K feet, now I want to double that altitude to about 20-25K feet. The hardest part of this project will be the recovery of the rocket, I am still deciding on which GPS tracker to use. "Unnamed and Untamed" is essentially a 3" Wildman rocket with the exception of a different airframe which is Proline profusion. It will be designed to fly on the CTI 75MM 4 grain motor to an altitude of 20-25K feet. The epoxy used to attached the fins is Rocketpoxy, and the fincan will get one or two layers of 6oz 2x2 twill carbon fiber. I will be using Head End Deployment using one or two SL100's. I have tested the Head End Deployment setup in another rocket and have gotten great results, it is easy to prep and the rocket always lands fairly close because of the setup. Two thing I still need to focus on are motor retention and a shock cord mount. So if any of you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to help, I need all the help I can get.
