So, I'm 17 and I decided to build a HPR. Wahoo!
I usually build scratch rockets but I decided to go with a kit to get my Level 1 certification. Its the Lil' Diter LOC Precision rocket kit. My older brother (who is redsox15 on RF) built his first HPR over the summer and got his certification so he's been helping me with the minor building questions I have. I started building it a couple weeks ago and my goal is to complete it and launch it by NEMROC in Amesbury on Oct. 25. Does this seem realistic?
I know there is some paperwork involved in applying for the Level 1 certification. Where do I get that paperwork? Also, when should I order the motor that I will be using? What type of motor should I use at Amesbury with the Lil' Diter LOC rocket? I won't have an altimeter so that may be a drawback.
I'm also up for any feedback on first time HPR building tips!
Thanks!
