>tfw spent 5 fucking hours getting my aerobee knockoff to actually work with a solid booster first stage and not tear itself apart on launch or fail to ignite the second stage because of fuel instability
christ what an exercise in suffering
I finally got something with working with performance roughly equivalent to the original aerobee though, it can carry my instruments up to about 140-150km if it's a good day and doesn't go off course at launch but it really needs the bigass launch tower they used with the actual aerobee launches to keep them on course until going fast enough for the fins to stabilize it
