And so begins another L3 thread!
I recently purchased a Performance Rocketry G12 Competitor 5 kit with the intent of getting my L3 certification through Tripoli. I have obtained 2 TAP's through MDRA, and so the process begins.
The model will be built exclusively with Proline epoxy. With a 4" motor mount, the plan is to some day fly it on a 98mm-3g EX motor, but for now the cert flight will most likely be a Loki M1882LW. Electronics will be an Ozark ARTS 2 primary with a Perfectflite MAWD backup. The recovery will be drogueless at the top, with a Rocketman R14 ProXP deployed at 1000'.
As I construct the rocket, weights will be figured out and I will narrow in on the simulation. For now, enjoy a picture of the components from Performance, as well as a picture of the first CR being glued to the motor mount!
