Vector G... A FRW Inspired Scratch Build

This rocket is inspired by a photo I saw of a FRW Vector G Max, an OOP Gooney.

My version is a quite bit smaller in diameter up front (BT/C-60), a BT/C-80 Fin Can and the fins are quite a bit larger (1/4" Plywood).

A 29mm Rear Eject spool dumps the Motor and the 24" Parachute out the back.​
I'm going to take a shot at making the Transition and BT/C-80 as one integral piece, by sectioning the tube and coupler and folding it down into place. The internal coupler splices straddling the body tube splices. That means unobstructed room for the spool (see the Open Rocket Side View below).​
