Hi,

here it is. :)
The rocket is glued together with SST. Then a little bit GFK (glas fibre)
It has ~5l volume so I fly with 1,5l water in it at 16bar.
3 Parachutes are triggered by TommyTimers and a logging altimeter records the height.

That looks like a really nice field to launch big rockets in!

SST = "Symmetric Splice Technique". Pay attention at the back of the class!
