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 + +## Build + +## Publicity + +## Flights +
