Hello Alll!!
I just got back from my L1 Cert flight. The first attempt, was with a NCR by Estes Big Brute that I modified by drastically strengthening the motor and fin assembly and by stretching it to accomodate a waddingless and zipperless recovery system. It flew on an H238M but failed due to the nosecone seperating from the shock cord, a defective nosecone anchor was to blame. All components were recovered with only minor scrathes. I will remount the nosecone useng a bulkhead mounted "eye" bolt The secnd attempt was with a PML Small Endeavor on an H128S, SUCCESS I had a long walk but it was worth it. GAAWD I love the sound of those H motors. L2 here I come!!! I will post pictures at a later date ( when I get them developed) Cya!
