Pros & Cons: A pro was to put the switches, altimeter and batteries all together on each sled to keep the wiring as integrated and short as possible. I am able to pull the altimeter sleds to change the batteries and make the settings without disconnecting any wires. Perhaps a con is the weight of Mighty Mo which kept growing beyond my expectations. As I built it, this rocket weighs 46 pounds without the motor, so it is too heavy for K motors. It needs an L or M with at least 1300 Newtons of average thrust.
 
Reflections: Even though this rocket was based on a kit. There were no instructions. I needed to make dozens of choices for the materials and techniques. I enjoyed consulting with many level three fliers including John Hansel, Rick Boyette, Joel Rogers, Chris Short and Lee Brock. Some of the new things I learned were how to fiberglass a large airframe with Aerosleeves, using a timer as deployment backup, using a freebag for deploying the main chute, and applying a large vinyl body wrap
 
Thanks:  Thanks to Rick Boyette, my L3CC member, and the entire FSM/TWP gang for making the 2007 Florida Winternationals a great event. Likewise for the photographers who caught the Mighty Mo Flight including Mark Canepa, Chuck from RocketTshirts.com and Neil McGilvray of Liberty Launch Systems. Thanks for assistance on the field by John Hansel & Tom Rackers of SEARS and GregZo from New Hampshire. A special thanks to John Hansel who mentored me though the entire project, made his air conditioned shop available, and provided all kinds of logistical support.
