I know I'm in the beginning stages of my life in rocketry, and am willing to put in the appropriate time to learn what I must before moving to the next stage. Having worked with a few low skin level kits, I've gotten a good ground for my building knowledge. I plan to join both NAR and my local club to meet with fellow rocket enthusiasts.
In the mean time between this moment and the next club launch, I was wonder what you would suggest as the next build to further my skill. I'm aiming to get into HPR and get certified in the future. Scale rockets are interesting, but I fear my ability to shape paper in such small detail will be weak.
Currently I have these basics down;
level 1-2 kits
basic motor mounts
attaching fins (through body and exterior mounting)
wood glue fillets
LPR style elastic shock cords
Finishing the exterior of a rocket
In the interest of progressing towards my goal, do any experienced rocketeers know which kit would have valuable skills to move up into MPR?
ps: also you do not need to worry about certification for MPR correct? Until I attempt to fly a rocket exceeding the regulations that declare what is a HPR I'm free to fly (in a proper manner) anything else? Obviously nothing illegal though.
Thank you you everyone for your time! I'm looking forward to improving in this exciting hobby!
