Here is the build of the Wildman Rocketry Blackhawk 38 high performance rocket kit.
First I want to explain the details of the rocket:
The WM Blackhawk 38 will be a dual deploy high performance rocket with tracking & more.
Airframe:
The airframe is made of a mix of fiberglass & carbon fiber, it's very strong!
The fins are 1/8 inch think made of graphite, and are very strong for being 1/8 inch thick fins!
The nose cone is also Carbonite, with an aluminum tip!! Cool!
____________________
Recovery:
This rocket will be dual deploy, powered by a PerfectFlite Stratologger CF.
It will have a drouge-less event, and a 24" parachute will pop out as the main, somewhere probably around 600'.

Electronics:
Dual deploy flight computer, PerfectFlite Stratologger CF.
Tracking, not sure yet, will either buy or borrow, still have to decide.
____________________
Additional details:
I will build the rocket so that it can be dual deploy, and quickly changed to single deploy.

Planned motors:
First flight will hopefully be on a Aero-Tech I500T, second flight will be on a Aero-Tech J510W.
The I motor will bring it to around 8K, and the J will take it to around 13K.
Speeds could bring this rocket up to mach 2.
And here are the parts:
Wildman forgot to put the fin guides in the order, so the fins will not go on until Monday.
Kudos to Wildman rocketry for taking care of this matter so soon, and getting the guides with Priority Mail so soon!
THANK YOU WM!
Thanks,
