Comanche 3 showing a close up of the altimeter payload section

A crushing blow to this kit-bag as an infant worked in my favor.  Because of that I got it cheap, and the injury happened about where I would have cut the body tube to add a bulkhead for a seperate payload bay. So it's as good as new - only better.  I'll be able to brag about how high it goes and be able to back-up my claims.

I totally love the chrome painted nosecone. I may just do this to all my rockets now, or gold perhaps?

The payload section is 3.35" in length, with a diameter of 0.95", giving a total volume of 2.37 cubic inches. Plenty of space for an Altimeter Two.
