Additional Details:

Yesterday, I flew my scratch-built rocket named "Half Fast" at the Tripoli Colorado October launch on an Apogee F10 motor to 10,136 feet AGL per the onboard GPS tracker recorded data and recovered it without damage. The flight and recovery were witnessed by John Jamieson (TRA 04920) and Andrew Meteer (TRA #2305). Attached is my F single motor record application, including photos of the signed form (not sure if I need to mail it also physically), photos of the rocket, launch, recovery, the as-downloaded GPS data from the tracker, and the GPS data converted to .kml for visualization in Google Earth. The rocket design is attached in open rocket format and RASAero format.

Extensive build documentation and additional flight data analysis is published on the Rocketry Forum at the following link:

Please note that although the thread title and the rocket design files refer to a G impulse record that the rocket was originally designed for, this was an F record attempt with an Apogee F10 to ensure the rocket stayed within the launch site FAA waiver.
