This will be my first HPR build. Hopefully it will help steer other newcomers in the right direction, as well as highlighting things that I could do differently in the future.
Seems like a good quality kit, Quantum tube is tough and easy to manage. Just needs loads of prep work for epoxy, but that's for later.
I am building this with the piston, but am converting the coupler into an ebay for experimenting with electronics after I certify.
Also adding a closed eyebolt to forward CR for attaching piston strap. I prefer that method to the gluing to MMT method, plus I can remove with quicklink if I want to ditch the piston. Piston strap will be protected with Nomex.
Using a bigger eyebolt for shock cord to ebay/NC attachment as the one that came with the kit was a little flimsy I thought. Will also be using a quicklink and swivel for chute.
Using an Aeropack motor retainer.
