# RG-1

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

## Motivation

Robert has wanted to try out electronic deployment for a while.  He received
a [PerfectFlite](http://www.perfectflite.com/) 
[MAWD](http://www.perfectflite.com/catalog/MAWD.html) commercial recording
altimeter with dual deployment support as a gift, and this is the rocket 
designed to make use of it.


## Design Details

This rocket features a 54mm air frame using phenolic tubing, and a 29mm motor
mount.  The nose cone is a [Giant Leap](http://giantleaprocketry.com/) 
Pinnacle 54mm.  The fins are 1/8 inch birch plywood in a custom shape, with
rounded edges.  The centering rings are 1/4 inch birch plywood, CNC milled,
and the two that hold the fins are notched for perfect fin alignment.

## Build

Construction began the weekend of 11-13 September 2009.
