Hello everyone. Im Looking for guidance in my next purchase. I'd like to purchase the highest flying single stage design.Any help would be much appreciated.
He said "non-level one". OP is not certified.29mm Go Devil with AT I205W Just under 10,000' agl. Streamer recovery, rocket hunter, JL alt2. But a 54 mm Go devil with no payload section and an AT K2050 will damn near double that. And I am sure there are many others, like Wildmans Mach 2 and 3.
+1. Paired to an Apogee Medalist F10-8 motor. Long burn, lower impulse than an Aerotech G but higher apogee (5479 ft. per Rocksim). No certification needed to purchase but there is a HAZMAT fee.Probably the Apogee Aspire.

And if you want to get it back then you may want to put some kind of lightweight tracker on it and launch on a big field with many eyes on it.
PS There is also an optional Ebay add on so you can use dual deployment (to limit drift) and add electronics to verify apogee and track/recover. However this will add weight over the stock rocket and lower apogee. But your chances of getting it back are much higher.
Eggfinder mini tracker transmitter will fit in a 29mm nose cone. You also need a receiver. Basic receiver needs to plug into a tablet or laptop. Handheld does not. Optional add on module adds nice features, including arrow and bearing to the rocket.What is the best value ( small tracker) for this missle? Also can you point me to the ebay build?
What is your budget? Can you solder surface mount components? If you're into soldering then an Eggfinder Mini Tx and USB receiver is the best value, if it fits into you chosen rocket, and is not too heavy. It does require a laptop. Go for the LCD receiver if you want device independence, or you can bluetooth the the receiver to an android phone.What is the best value ( small tracker) for this missle?

"Avbay" (avionics bay) is less confusing than "ebay"!
The highest flying single-stage rocket, at any impulse level, will be minimum diameter, optimum weight, and lowest aerodynamic drag.

The Dude, if filled with just enough helium to begin floating with an expended Motor should be the highest flyer.
How many Aspire kits have been lost? I don't think I have seen a listing for a kit say "you may not get this one back" so many times. Looks like fun though
I saw one launched as well, on a G motor, it got recovered 10' from the pad....20' from the pad....it shredded at about 200-300' (lots of bits raining down).I have only seen one Aspire launched and it was not recovered. No one saw it once the motor burned out. It used the F10 motor.
LOL, having flown mine several times with a F12 including a 3 x Dude drag race, I think that "might" be a stretch... it's heavier than it looks.The Dude, if filled with just enough helium to begin floating with an expended Motor should be the highest flyer.
