Overview

This is my latest rocket project that I am building in preparation for my Level 3 certification.

Current Status

I had my first flight at the July 2011 HARA Launch. My next step is to finish my Flight Computer, reinforce the fins with fiberglass cloth, paint it, and make my TAP members happy.

Rocket Build

First Flight

The maiden flight of Safety Orange occurred on July 9. I had a perfect flight and a beautiful recovery. Of course, pictures were taken and can be found here. When I get the data cable for my altimeter, I'll post the altitude data here.

Next Steps

Up next, I have a few more things I must do before my Level 3 certification flight.
