Congrats, man. The LOC IV is a classic L1 bird-- I did my L1 with it too-- definitely a great choice. You'll get lots of mileage out of it in the future.

Well, to restart an old thread. This will now be the "Log". Today I flew it on an AT H123W-10. The ejection was a little late, but not bad. The white lightning was beautiful. I really think this is my new favorite motor type.

Cody,
I've got the same motor to try soon.
I wondered if 10 seconds wasn't too much for the LOC IV. If the guys at the Club have the tool
I'm going to drill it to 8 or 7 seconds, I guess.
*Simulated in Open Rocket mine showed 27 mph at deployment with 6 seconds and 15mph with 9 seconds.
That's 58 ounces with motor and case.

7 or 8 seconds is perfect. 10 will work, I did it because my mentor today said that it would be fine.

Just thought I would update this thread after a while of nothing. I decided to upgrade this rocket for DD since I will be flying it at LDRS on an I327DM. Should be an exciting flight and my first DD too! I'll post pictures a little later of my AV bay.
