Apogee Payload Altitude Rocket Build, Part 1, Parts

EDIT: Well, I screwed up! This parts post should have been first. So #2 and #3 will follow tomorrow to put everything in the correct order.


The above picture shows all the parts. All seem to be very good quality.
The 8" parachute looks to be cut out from orange sheet plastic.
No elastic shock cord, six feet of 100 lb. braided Kevlar is used.
The launch lug will be replaced, more on that later on.

Parts of interest:
Laser cut 18mm (BT-20) sized tube. No tube cutting needed.
Payload bulkhead with laser cut holes.
19mm diameter Payload tube
Vacu-form nose cone.
