This rocket is scratch. All Carbon Fiber except for the interstage coupler which is FW fiberglass, nose cone coupler is FW black fiberglass, and Nose cone is a black fiberglass VK cone. The fins are 1/8 carbon fiber plate.
Minimum Diameter booster and 54mm sustainer. Plans are for an Aerotech M1850 in Booster and Aerotech L1090 in Sustainer.
Electronics Booster: 2 Perfect flight StrataloggerCF with a BRB900 GPS.
Electronics Sustainer: RRC3 "Extreme" (Deployment charges and ignition of sustainer) and RRC2+(redudant deployment charges), Missile Works RTX GPS for sustainer
Plan is it have Co2 ejection charges for apogee of booster and Black Powder charges for Main.

I have also thought to use Co2 charges for everything. The benefit of that is not to deal with all the left over residue of the black powder. Leaning towards the Peregrine Co2 system. I also plan on using the Tinder Descender in the booster to wrap around the parachute so that I can have the main come out at altitude.
