This is a short photo-heavy update, showing the build progress so far. OpenRocket produced some very helpful 1:1 scale PDF exports that helped me size the fins. The centring rings were also included, but I bought those pre-cut from Black Cat Rocketry.
In order to simply but accurately mark the fin tab interface, I quickly sketched the motor mounts in LibreCAD and printed them as a template.
An initial idea of the recovery system and anchor… this may well change.
With the fins painted, that’s the end of my progress for this blog post.
