Wildman Punisher 3 Questions

[FlyAwaySam]

Hello!

I am looking at building a punisher 3 for my L1 certifications and I have a few questions about the punisher.

1) It is a good rocket kit for a L1 if I use a 38mm motor? I am also thinking about using it for a L2 once I get electronics and a tracker.
2) Can is handle single deployment via the motor ejection charge?
3) What is the max motor length that it can reasonably handle physically? My intrusive thoughts want to put the biggest possible 54mm motor in later but the motor mount on Wildman's RockSim file makes it look short.

I am also looking at other kits but the punisher 3 is the most tempting. Valuing opinions before spending my wallet away.

The length of the motor mount tube has no relation to the length of the motor you can stuff into that rocket.

Punisher 3 can handle anything you can throw at it. It is a great L1/2 rocket and will easily do both. You can motor eject with it AND then use DD electronics as long as you built it that way. Though, its pretty easy to modify down the road as well.

Any of the Wildman 3" FG rockets will do all the things; the Punisher is one of the most popular. I would say you couldn't go wrong picking that for your build. Loads of threads on them as well over the 15+ years that its been around. Hundreds, if not thousands built.

You should be able to fit the AT DMS L1000 in it and top 15,000 ft.
