Large H-13 RC Rocket glider flights from this weekend

To close out the season here, I flew four nice flights on my upscale Vulcan Bomber, Colonial Viper, Interceptor and Orbital Starliner rocket gliders, enjoy!

Nice flights and nice glides! So, the Colonial Viper flew on an H13 ? Is this the same Colonial Viper that use to fly on a G40?

Yes, modified the motor mount to be just above the wing so the longer motor can go all the way in, and a bit more nose weight. It's just on the edge of Max liftoff weight so you have to be careful and pitch over a bit to get some flight speed before pulling up. Definitely need to fly it at all times.

If I am reading the rules right, you don’t need an FAA COA because the propellant weight is below 125 g and the loaded weight is below 1500 g. But you do need Level 1 certification. Correct?

Correct,
