This is a fairly cheap rocket. I made a bunch of composite mounts, auto-detaching electronics systems, and telemetry systems, but this is what I have for pictures. This rocket was about 30 inches long, and ran an F engine.
If I can't show you more of the rockets, I can at least show you the lab they came out of. All of the space and tools necessary to make some very cool stuff.

This is an engine mount for up to G size engines. Fiberglass, epoxy- composite-coated, engine mount designed to take all types of punishment.
This is part of a much larger composite rocket, and intended to be the most bomb-proof part. It is modular and designed to go with a number of different fin and tube designs with a simple pin-and-hole mounting system.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the full rocket (It got caught somewhere next to a guidance computer in my high school's basement).

This thing is one of the only school projects on this site. I worked on this with two of my aerospace engineering classmates at Calpoly (Thanks Luke B. and Sam H-W ). One requirement: no parachute, hence the blades. There was an egg on the top (that survived), and a very unfortunate accident that sent the entire thing soaring at all of the professors while still powered. Oops...
With a strict cost requirement, paper composites were the only option. A pen clip holds the engine in. Not good, but it worked. (Thanks Luke B. and Sam H-W ).
