Rocket ready on the pad...
Flew this morning, bit of a mixed bag on successes and failures, but overall successful and I learned quite a bit.

Was going to try to fly today but some parts hadn't arrived. I also had to debug some servo issues.

Here is an updated schematic and a model with the rocket on the pad. This is the tower launch pad I have been working on.

CAD for the avionics/recovery system for a future multistage rocket! The entire system mounts to a special tornado tube in between two 2 Liter bottles that form the booster pressure vessel. This allows the staging mechanism to attach directly to the top of the booster, reducing length and increasing rigidity.

Tower Frame Done! It still needs rails and a release head but is largely complete.
