For SSCIJ I got a few Loc 1 series/park flyers. One of them is the Loc Magnum and it has a payload compartment and a coupler so I thought it would be perfect to turn into a dual deploy rocket. Final length of 16" and a diameter of 1" with no external modifications other than the needed vent holes and some tiny screws so it looks pretty much stock.
And here is the altimeter and battery that is housed inside. For switching it on and off I soldered two wires to the switch to allow for twist and tape.
First flight was this past weekend on a C6-5 (tiniest motor I've flown in I think 6 years). Worked perfectly and reached 667ft. For the recovery gear I had a parachute come out at apogee with the motor charge (just in case) and a streamer deploy at 500ft to test that the electronics worked. It did and I will note that for the charge size I simply used the red cap that comes on the matches and filled it about 80% of the way and it seemed a bit energetic. The future for this rocket will be ex 18mm motors and might be able to break mach on a longer motor.
