My current project, since I've decided to stop feeling guilty about jumping around between projects, and just do what makes me happy at the moment. I'm refurbishing an old (~7 years old) rocket, Black Widow. This is my favorite kind of rocket to fly, 54mm motor in a 75mm tube. But it's had some usability issues that required some more iteration. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

It's getting a new sled (which itself took 5 or 6 iterations to get right) and a new altimeter, the brand new Featherweight BlueRaven. I'm waiting on some wiring connectors which should arrive today. Also has my new favorite switch, the Lab Rat Rocketry pull-pin switch. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

The battery is a 7.4V 1200mAH quadcopter battery, which is definitely overkill, but my motto appears to be "anything worth doing is worth overdoing" and I'm leaning into it. #rocketry #HighPowerRocketry #RocketSurgery

I'm even going to pick up a buffing wheel this weekend and try to make the paint shiny again, something I've never done for any car I've owned.
