Hey Dan good looking rockets you have. Ive been doing HPR now for about 20 years. Was into smaller scale before it. Im currently a level 3 flyer TRA/NAR. I was a TRA TAP for some time til time became a bit more difficult to come by, So I hear you on the free time thing sometimes. My daughter is also a HPR flyer now as well L2. She was the first female Jr cert L1 in the NAR jr program. Flew her first HPR cert with a large CTI I motor to almost 2 miles high with a minimum diameter rocket for 38mm. Im also majorly addicted to research side of stuff and design my own propellants and motors. Full throttle was a scratch built Fiberglass/Kevlar/Carbon fiber rocket I built for my L3 some many years ago. Its seen more then a hundred flights. All of them being in the N motor range. The motor in the Full throttle was just shy of an O class motor. Full N Modified Wimpy red formulation. Ive built motors as big as P class myself (that casing is 6ft tall and 8" diameter) Ive flow up to P class. Full throttle has seen past 20K. The current pic posted of full throttle was at Jean dry lake bed at an LDRS event in Nevada. That day she flew to 22,000ft AGL. Ive recorded other flights higher with other rockets. As well as have built much larger rockets. The other rocket above Full Throttle is a modified PML Endeavor that flies on K and L motors. I think I may just have to start a thread on some rocketry fun as well. Share some videos and fun pics. Love to see any others that have been in the hobby post theirs to. Love your Chester cheeta rocket!!!Nice rockets! I've been into HPR for about twelve or thirteen years, on-and-off. I haven't been doing anything lately due to having a two-year-old and a four-year-old that take up all my free time and then some....
Those last two rockets look serious, especially "Full Throttle" - what kind of motor was in that beast? What altitude did it reach?
Here are some pictures of a couple rockets I've built. The Chester Cheetah rocket is a fun one just for the looks I get. The fiberglass rocket I built as a project with some older kids from my school (I teach 4th grade). I've built tons of low and mid-power rockets and I think I've flown maybe ten or twelve high-power flights in five different rockets. I haven't flown anything bigger than an 'I', but someday I'll put a 'J' or even a small 'K' in my fiberglass rocket and see if I get it back.

What altimeter are you using?
and I will add a 
Wow, man, I've never even seen anything that big in person! The largest motor/highest flight I have ever seen launch was a minimum diameter M-powered rocket that went to around 20,000'. Our 'big' rocket field is in Brothers, Oregon - lots of Ks and Ls, but anything bigger is pretty special. I've never gotten beyond level I, but once my son gets big enough to handle a full day in the field I plan to get back into it and finally do my L2.
I don't know if you have met Mike Fisher (Binder Designs) but he is a really good guy and lives near me. I have messed around with some EX stuff with him, fun stuff for sure.
I have run an after school Rocket Club for the last 14 years, we have an average of about thirty members and build/launch twice a week from Spring Break until Summer Vacation. While looking through the clearance section of Belleville Wholesale Hobby I ran across an Interceptor-G kit. That became Chester's Cheeto Chaser, my first mid-power rocket.
This is my old Tiny Pterodactyl, my first "High-Power" rocket (it just fits an H). It now lives somewhere in the sagebrush of Eastern Oregon....
Picture from a launch - you can see Chester's Cheeto Chaser #2 in the background:
Anyways, we definitely need a rocketry thread in the lounge, even if is just the two of us!
I only saw in my email notification the following:
