So for those of you that remember my first attempt, here begins the thoughts and ideas for attempt 2. My first round was at Southern Thunder 2007 where I flew my "Lactose Intolerant" - a modified Big Nuke 3E, on an M1297. She screamed to 10,500ft and had a flawless flight, that is until the main chute snagged on a sheer pin that didn't sheer right because I put a bigger chute protector in at the last minute (stupid mistake, I know) and changed the entire dynamic of my deployment setup. That rocket is repairable and will be seen flying again, however, I'm wanting to do a much lower, slower flight this time around.
I'm toying with ideas right now and have always enjoyed thoughts provided by this forum.
I want the largest diameter within reasonable cost, so far 10" seems to be the ticket. I'm leaning towards a 10" Bullpup or an upscale SA-14 Archer (two of my favorites). Any thoughts or ideas for a low altitude L3. I'd like to be in the 1500-3000ft range.
