He's got the be the best rocket spotter I've ever seen. Everyone else is staring around at the clouds and he can always pick it out! I think the baby due at the end of march will limit my budget to lower end level 1 for awhile
Do the holes on the fins serve a purpose??? Are these in anyway steerable or do you build, launch, watch and hopefully retrieve?

What kind of chute release you using?

Those are just a cosmetic, they came that way as part of the kit.
That was the Jolly Logic, set it to 500'. Launch the MDRM on a G125 after that set to 300' since it's lighter. (same MDRM I had at Mt. Airy)

I really want to go, especially since I have my mdra dues paid for the year...but with a newborn (with a cold), I think I have to pass 
Once he's a little bigger, I have little baby earmuffs for him so we can bring him to launches.

cross posting with the Pi thread... Finally finished rebuilding my super batray that pranged due to a weak ejection/nose fit swelling in the sunlight (now renamed to super tuxray). Rebuilt it with a 5:1 nose that was given to me, and added a e-bay with a raspberry pi in it. It currently is just setup for video/audio recording, but I'll add sensors to it later to function as a backup altimeter to a yet to be chosen commercial DD altimeter (leaning toward the TRS).
