Just like to (Publicly) thank Apogee components.
I ordered an Alt15K/WD altimeter.......It arrived in Australia 4 days

I'm considering putting up a 2.6" diameter camera payload for auction.

a rocket with it, or just sell the payload? Both would be in a
near-complete state, needing only to be painted by the buyer.

 Is there a rule about parachute size per pound of rocket?

Happy Easter everyone,

wRASP says it stages at 388 feet and 250 mph.  It sure looked a lot higher.
