HI all,
I have just finished building my first high powered rocket for my level 1 cert, a Loc HyperLoc 835 and I would like to know how best to mount rails buttons?At this point I am almost kinda gonna go with the 1/2 inch lugs that came with it but I really wanna launch it off a rail so is it best to mount the rail buttons into the fore and aft centering rings?Or one in the aft ring and one farther up on the air frame?I am only gonna fly it single deploy so the main chute is gonna be in the bay where the drogue should be everything fits I swapped out the elastic that came with the kit for a 25 foot piece of TN with a nomex chute and shock cord protecter on it along with some quicklinks.It mostly complete all filits are done its just down to rail buttons or lugs JB weldings my aeropack retainer in and priming/painting gonna wait to put on the aeropack till after its painted.
Also one more question it weighs in at about 4.8 pounds which I am just gonna call it 5 pounds and having to keep it to a 1500 foot cert flight what do you guys think would be a good motor for it?I had the recomendation of maybe an H268 or maybe an I218R but some other input would be helpful.
