I was into High power rocketry before 9/11. What you are thinking of has been done. However, if I remember the control system was analog. Remember in rocketry events happen in a much more compressed time frame. There is allot you can do with rocketry that doesn't involve active stabilization or guidance. You live in the post 9/11 world. In the eyes of the gov you would be considered a possible terrorist. If you want to pursue electronics and rocketry, i would suggest work on building your own altimeter. Start with a simple barometric unit - pop at the top. Then work on accelerometers and data logging. For advanced topic look into Kalman filters to deploy at apogee. Or work on a wireless hybrid fill and launch system. While rocketry was fun, I was literally burning money to play. With First robotics I'm playing on someone else's dime.
