Haven’t given any updates in a while.
Here’s a few photos. Hand made a bunch of spars to build the airfoil profiles on the fins. Laminated on 1/8” skins. Then fiberglassed the fins. Sanding and filling and a photo of the overall rocket. Still working on electronics and sims.
Motor choices and nose weight to follow. But I’m thinking it comes off the pad at Balls with a n2200 DM!!! Not sure about the sustainer yet.
