I hope you enjoyed my ridiculous Level 2 Certification Rocket veneered in quarter sawn oak and cherry marquetry as much as I enjoyed making it. A huge, HUGE, thank you to @AstroCharlie for answering SO many questions as I designed and built it, and for doing a lot of the videography at the house and launch pad. Also big thanks to Joe from @BPSspace for running all the cameras at the pad and hooking me up with that gorgeous slow-mo shot. And so many thanks to all of da rocket homies (Andrew, Charlie, Dayna, Ender, Jenna, Joe, Lauren, Lars, and Shane) for being the best space squad ever and helping me refind myself after a stressful year of pandemic/isolation.

If you are interested in getting any of your High Power Rocketry certifications, I highly recommend it! I did my L1 and L2 through NARS (I prefer them because the certs don't expire) but you can also do it through Tripoli. Additionally, a bunch of us are getting together at FAR again this summer for #hotnozzlesummer, for more info check out hotnozzlesummer.com
Additionally, I've dropped my parts list for Fifi below, but if you are unfamiliar with OpenRocket (you should model your rocket in OpenRocket anyway) or don't have time to design your own model or cut your own fins and centering rings, I'd recommend choosing one of Madcow Rocketry's 3" kits for an L1 or L2 certification flight.
