Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking for about a week or two now. There is a ton of information on this site.
I am a long time rocket flyer, exclusively Estes since I was young. Its been a bit of a break since then. I have always been willy nilly with my younger builds. I have always been interested in HPR and have done some minor research in the past. I am not a member of NAR and am looking to get my L1 this year. I am hoping to use my Loc Fantom for this.
Anyway enough about me. I am here to ask for suggestions. One person who intorduced me to model rocketry when I was younger was my older cousin. He has gone though a bit of a rough patch recently and I have shared pictures of my as received LOC and motor mounts, as well as my finished wizard. He has expressed interest in the hobby again if not just for the creative output. I am looking for suggestions for a rocket in the MPR or very low HPR range that could be launched at 1500ft or less altitude with no FAA waiver. I plan to give this as a gift for Christmas. hopefully not to expensive but hopefully wet the whistle and have some one share in the fun of HPR.
I also was curious is it possible to use multiple MMT adapter at the same time. As an example could I use a 38mm mmt with a 29mm adapter with a 24mm adapter within that and possible a 18mm adapter as long as it can still fly and reach minimum off the rail speed and more than 200ft or so. basically to make a small field or backyard flyer. I understand the heavier the rocket that larger the minimum motor needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
