Meaning came through loud and clear when I read it . This should turn out really solid. Won't have to worry about breaking the waiver either!
The Estes Patriot (SAM) was my first rocket built at home, and I did my L1 with the 4" Madcow version (Big SAM vv). It'll be cool to your big one as an L3.
Yes. I'm not so interested in maximum height. I love slow lift offs and being able to watch the rocket the whole way. I'm targeting about 5,000' with this on an M3400 75 mm engine. I'm building this solidly enough (by the match anyway) to take up to an O3400 that tops out at mach 1.2 and 10,000'. That's why I'm setting it up with reinforcement from thrust plate up to the payload bay bulkhead so it can take a big push.... if I want to go that big down the line.
I do have machbusters and high altitude model on the drawing board for learning and building through this year.
