Planning to get this rocket ready for GRITS, Georgia in April 2016.
Also will fly this first in Bunnell for a test flight like close to Mach 1 or so or a K261 motor and see how it performs with the new fins.
UPDATE 01/03/2016 - Rocket is in the final stage of finishing, if the weather cooperates then I will do some painting. Still need to do the window for the Iphone setup. Hope to get it all ready for the February launch.
UPDATE 01/09/2016 - Bought my motor from Bernie - K454-19 skidmark.
UPDATE 02/09/2016 - Rocket all packed and ready to fly. Total weight right now 4920 grams all included !
UPDATE 02/10/2016 - While testing the stratologgers, I had a scary AMPS and voltage readout with a new battery. Tested the battery in other stratologgers and the readout there was fine. I even disconnected everything with that faulty stratologgers and still had weird readouts ! Will be send back to perfectflite !! faulty stratologger replaced and all working good.
UPDATE 02/12/2016 - Charges made (4) - Still very windy conditions on the field, might not happen, hoping for the best.
UPDATE 02/13/2016 - Very windy morning, frustrating launch line, finally decided to launch, rocket all prepped, waiting for pad# 14, short launchrail, but nice take off on that skidmark motor ! Rocket landed south East in next field over, easy recovery with Thea's golf cart ! Winds calmed down in the afternoon. Great day seeing Jason, Eric, Jeff and Tim !

Spectacular Launch Freddy!!!! Very little spin - the rebuild and fins were certainly worth it!!!
Jason, I really wanna see your EZI fly with the blue tape on the fins,and see how it performs on the rotation site..

Looks like the spin stopped right after motor burnout!
