Someone complained these were too loud so I guess be prepared.
This is my level 1 certification rocket. Went about ~5000 feet. Went through 4 ignitors before we found a good one. Was supposed to be a drag race but my rocket got beat off the pad by a little bit.. Still found mine first!

This is the rocket we're flying for our subscale launch for the NASA USLI contest. Goal is exactly 5280 feet, payload that measures humidity, temperature, pressure, irradiance, UV light, and takes pictures.
