Who wants to see a two-stage model rocket flight! DIAMOND-X Block 3 is the latest upgrade to my proven airframe. We go over booster integration and control of the upper stage during two-stage flights. I hope this is useful in designing your own two-stage rockets!


I do not provide CAD or code files for these projects. Feel free to join the r/rocketry discord and start your own active control rocketry projects!
