Thanks for showing the Zephyr. Really, really, really interested in this rocket.

I fly with the Mid-South Rocket Society in Memphis, Tennessee. As Elvis would say, "Ho, momma!"
 
Did you tie off the main chute shock cord to the nosecone loop? If so, I'd warn against that. While they might look sturdy, they can be prone to breaking. I speak from experience there. On the first flight of my scratch-built 3" with a Madcow PNC3.00 plastic nosecone, the loop broke.
 
Just a minor detail question. Is the decal green or a teal looking color like the picture posted of the build. Very nice looking rocket.
 
It's my camera , it leans toward the blue hue .
I took another one but here is another pic that looks to be a bit more color accurate.

probably a bit of 'UV' in the light from the flash skewing the colors about.
 
What motor did you end up going with?
Sorry for how long it took to get back to you. It went up on a AT H180

Great photos
Congrats again!!!
 
Can someone get me a scan of the fins with a ruler (1mm/ 1/16" measures or finer) laid along the root edge? I'd like to do a sim (and possibly a tutorial on how to do holes in fins).
