Jeff Boldig's Big Bird

This is my Level 3 certification rocket.  It is an all fiberglass kit.  The nose cone and tubes are spiral wound fiberglass and the fins are 3/16 thick G10 with pre-cut angles on the leading and trailing edges.  It has a 98mm MMT.  The booster is 60 inches long, the payload is 48 inches long and the 5 to 1 VK nosecone is 30 inches long.
