 I am TRA-Tripoly Rocketry Association Level II certified in the USA.
-I flew my perfect certification flight in Wisconsin, USA.  It was a Public Missiles Phobos with a 38mm, J3500 composite motor.  I flew my own flight computer based on the Intel 8051 running with an accelerometer and barometer.  The rocket made 50g, 1.2 Mach, and just touched the 8000 feet (2438m) ceiling imposed by the FAA.  The parachute deployed at apogee and the rocket landed about 700m from the launchpad.  A perfect flight!
