Hey y'all! I'm new to HPR and I'm going to attempt to get an L-1 cert soon. The rocket I intend to use is a LOC Deployer which I've already assembled and is designed for F-H impulse motors, but as the title suggests I'm unsure what means of deployment/recovery to use.
It is designed for dual-deployment and I recently purchased the Apogee E-bay mounting kit and a Entacore AIM altimeter if I go the route the rocket is intended, albeit more risky as it depends on electronics and I've never done this before, and do dual-deploy. On the other hand, I could just buy an H motor with an ejection charge and reconfigure my rocket by putting the main parachute where the streamer for dual-deploy currently is - which I view as the somewhat safer option even though I've never dealt with assembling ejection charges for HPR motors either. I set up everything for dual-deploy and did a static fire with the altimeter which went fine but I still worry about losing my rocket on my L-1 attempt.
What are your guys' thoughts?
