EZI-65 base, wrapped twice in 1.7 oz kevlar.
The fins have been rounded removing the sharp edges on the junction of the tip/leading/trailing edge.
Instead of an eyebolt to secure shock cord to airframe, I created a kevlar loop.
Printed nose cone using ABS plastic of my own design. External design based off of Von Karman nose cone. Main chute fits in lower half of nose with room to spare, storage containment in upper half for transmitter.
Vent hole in lower nose increased from 1/8" to 5/32". Vent hole in upper half is still 1/8"
The bay is of custom design, see Post Topic "Bay Electronics" or click here: https://www.insanerocketry.com/main/displaymessagelist/-3711951308618969595/
PR-100 Channel HP: 87 222.790MHz
Pyro:
Nose: 1.0g, backup 1.3g
Aft: 1.1g, backup 1.4g
Drogue engage on port 9 (aft deploy)
Main engage on port 8 (nose deploy)

It's coming along pretty good Jason.
That rocket comes a long way !! Made history..
Cut a ~4" hole in center of drogue chute, burned the ripstop at the cut. Looks good. My goal is a 65ft/sec descent rate, hopefully this does it.

Here is the slightly larger than 4 inch diameter hole I cut -- I was hoping for a 65 ft/sec descent rate, but it was not by science, I simply cut a hole in hopes to increase descent speed. The crazy thing is, the descent rate is ~65.3 feet per second! Target achieved. The burned ripstop did not frey so that was the way to go.

Moved completely intact electronics from Panda 2 to Next.
Rewired.
Moved "Custom Electronics Rev 2 for Primary Deployment" thread from Panda 2 to under this rocket, since it is now active in this rocket.
