I am hoping to run an L1 and L2 certification on a nice 38mm kit, shortly after each other. I had my eye on a LOC Nuke Pro Max, as I love the look and it looks like it can take the power without issue. However it is a mere 2.1 inch diameter, and one other task I would like to take on is a special payload that is between 2.2 and 2.4 inches.
It looks like the LOC Hi Tech could be up to the task, though it does not appeal to my eye quite as much and the payload would be tight or possibly not even fit. I should get exact dimensions.
The LOC Big Nuke looks great but is right out of my price and size range.
On to PML, the Mystic looks decent. 3 inch diameter would definitely fit my payload. I am a little concerned with L2 power there, though. What if I changed the orientation of the fins? The CP should not be significantly affected, right? Or are these concerns unfounded, as I would need to fiberglass or otherwise strengthen the whole thing regardless? Also it might be a little short for adding payload.
Of course I could simply get the Nuke Pro Max I want for certification, forget about payloads, and get a separate wider rocket for that purpose later.
