That rocket is a giant! Will you install electronics for recovery or telemetry?

Consider the size of fins - on a thick rocket the fins must also be thick.

I would love to see a video of these rockets flying.

No, for the time being I don't use any electronic tools I am using the old methods for measurement, such: speed of light ,distance by speed and time by load. that give me the approximate results at least for now .
The fins are 2 mm thick aluminum , 14 cm by 29 cm .
The rocket body , aluminium dia. 20 cm. Theweight is 25.30 kg .
I am waiting for the weather to improve to launch it , its windy and rain those days.
