Something Gay

Something Gay is TBNL’s debut flight vehicle!

Something Gay was designed to be able to flexibly classify as a class 1 (low/mid power) or a class 2 (high power) rocket as defined by the FAA such that we can gather flight data under lower power conditions until enough confidence has been built up in the airframe and the KWIIs flight computer to move to our first high power flight for level 1 certification on an H motor.
