I've been thinking recently about getting into HPR, and was wondering whether anyone has any ideas regarding kits I could build and fly for my Level 1 Cert. I've listed the ones below that I was thinking of doing, with what I believe to be the pros and cons of each one next to it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
1. AeroTech ISQY Tomahawk, modified to accept 29mm motors.
+ Supersonic on an I/high H
+ High altitudes on larger motors- possible dual deploy candidate
+ Low cost of kit
- Recovery distance/losing the rocket on Cert flight due to high altitudes
Perhaps could be flown on low H and with ballast to keep altitudes and speeds low on Cert. flight.
2. MadCow Super DX1
+ Big rocket
+ 'Safer' altitudes regarding recovery.
- Lower performance than Tomahawk.
- More expensive
