This is more than a placeholder, but not yet a build thread. I picked up a LOC Ultimate from Countyline's birthday sale, and started thinking about possibilities. One thing led to another, and then I thought of the current title. Some mix of red, white, blue and sparky motors (I've got 7 x 29mm motor mounts), some possible air starts, all to fly at UROC's Hellfire XXI next summer.

General thoughts:
- After reading about airstart safety, any airstarts will be controlled using RRC3s with time and altitude settings
- Currently have my heart set on a central I200, the rest will likely be CTI since I am more confident of lighting them simultaneously
- Thinking about laminating at least the tube. I figure a CF sleeve would look cool, and there would be some structural rigidity added. Just don't have a vaccuum setup to bag a tip-to-tip.
- Just got my L2, so I don't think I can max out allowed Newtons using 7 x 29mm motors, although I haven't done the math yet.
- Also haven't simmed against the 25000 AGL ceiling, yet
