First rocket I built by myself t' develop skills as a rocketeer gettin' into some serious stuff. Avast, me proud beauty! My main goal with this build is t' be able t' successfully paint a glossy, me bucko, white body tube. Begad! This goal was attained, but I learned that I needed t' go ahead and put t' balsa wood fins on before paintin' t' tube t' avoid scrapin' excess paint from t' places where t' fins need t' be glued. Avast! Decals were placed on t' fins and body tube and look superb. This rocket was designed t' be a payloader, launchin' a cackle fruit. Ya scallywag! My goal is t' launch a flight computer recordin' altitude, barometric pressure, arrr, temperature, and a real time clock t' record t' a microSD card conditions o' t' flight. Avast, me proud beauty! This be all developed from an Arduino Nano board.
