+# Horizon Rebuild
+
+This is an improved redesign and rebuild of Bdale's first high power airframe.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The airframe that earned Bdale his L1 and L2 certifications was severely
+damaged after the nylon strap portion of the recovery harness failed at
+altitude during a flight at the NCR North launch site.  The nose cone, payload
+bay, and parachute were recovered on the day.  The fin can turned up later
+in the weekend after Bdale had to leave, and was returned a few weeks 
+later.  Only the nose cone, fins, and rail buttons from the original airframe
+survive in this rebuild.
+
+This rebuild is configured with a 54mm motor mount and electronics bay capable
+of dual deployment with redundant electronics.
+
+## Design Details
+
+* 98mm Giant Leap DynaWind air frame
+* 54mm Giant Leap phenolic motor mount
+* 1/8 inch G10 fins, recycled from [Horizon](../Horizon)
+* 3/8 inch birch plywood centering rings and bulkheads
