Diameter of rocket governed by safely housing width of new phone.
Nothing fancy, but should perform well.
What is interesting about this rocket is that I printed most of the rocket with the exception of the fins and motor mount.
Some of the parts are thick for structure strength, but have an internal rectilinear fill pattern with mostly empty space in between.
Polycarbonate + Carbon Fiber is used for motor enclosure & nose. For plastic, it is very strong and has a fairly high glass transition temperature of 143°C. To print well with this material, you must have a print enclosure around or over 90°C.
For the rest of the printed parts, it is a combination of ABS and ABS / CF.
The motor mount tube is standard loc cardboard and is sleeved directly into the printed part.
Electronics bay is be nice and tight, housing everything including my custom deployment system, phone, raven, batteries, and GoTenna transmitter.

When is your estimate to fly it ??, I will not be at SRA in December, family is coming over for one whole month !!!
Not sure yet, my job has been demanding and I am burned out. I may get my second wind though.
