I flew my perfect certification flight | I flew my perfect certification flight with a [https://publicmissiles.com/pml/images/PhobosDataSheet.pdf/ Public Missiles Phobos] rocket 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 accelerated at 50g, reached a maximum speed of 1.2 Mach, and reached an altitude or 8000 feet (2438m), the flight ceiling imposed by the FAA. The parachute deployed at apogee and the rocket landed about 700m from the launchpad. A perfect flight! | ||
