- 11,000 feet altitude and Mach 1.6 using an I243 motor
- Flies on any 24mm and 29mm currently in production, from a C11 to an I243. (24mm motor adapter not included)
- Secure GPS tracking via Featherweight GPS tracker
- Lots of recorded data from the Featherweight Blue Raven

- Carbon fiber fins
- Only 200 grams without the motor
- True Von Karman 3D printed nosecone
- Tiny 3D printed av-bay custom-designed for the Featherweight Blue Raven 1" diameter altimeter, is only 2.5" long
- Includes 16 3D printed parts, custom designed and optimized by Adrian Adamson, who holds multiple Tripoli altitude records
