# RG-2

Robert's second full-custom rocket, with TeleMetrum electronic-deployment.

## Motivation

After the success of [RG-1](../RG-1), Robert decided it would be fun to build
a similar rocket in smaller diameter to try and get more than a mile above
ground on a G motor.  The timing coincided with the first prototype builds of
[TeleMetrum v0.2](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum), so naturally he insisted
on designing the rocket to fly one.

## Design Details

* 38mm phenolic air frame
* 29mm phenolic motor mount
* [Giant Leap](http://giantleaprocketry.com/) Pinnacle 38mm nose cone
* 1/8 inch birch plywood fins in a custom shape, with rounded edges
* 1/4 inch birch plywood centering rings and bulkheads, CNC milled, the two 
  that hold the fins are notched for perfect fin alignment.
* avionics bay design similar to Bdale's Trick-o-Treat

4 "kits" of parts.
