Launch Scrub

Real Life has caused a launch scrub. I currently am attending college and working full time (and will switch jobs after the thanksgiving holiday!) So I'm quite busy with midterms this weekend so I didn't have time to work on GM-1.

I have changed the config of GM-1 as well. It's only going to be a small C estes rocket with off the shelf items I had bought in the past from Apogee Rockets.

I changed the config for a very good reason. I don't want to get in over my head on my first rocket. I don't want to make a complete fool of myself on the first launch. So I'm going to a more conservative approach. The first GM-1 will be now named Green Monster-2. I hope I can launch that before spring when Columbia Rocket Club loses it's launch site due to farming. I got my parts from Apogee today. The shipping was slower than I expected but rockets can't be shipped via air mail and so it had to go via ground.

I am going to write a review of Apogee and post it in the next few days (maybe even tonight)
The next launch is set for December 15th. I hope to be able to attend that one and launch GM-1
