Successful NAR Level One Flight Completed

Greetings!
Yesterday, I successfully launched and recovered in flyable condition my LOC/Precision 4" Goblin on an H100W w/an 8 second delay. Thanks to Art, Bill and the rest of the gang there at the Alamo Rocketeers for solid advice. Now on to my Binder Fusion for my Level Two! My goal for this rocket will be redundant dual deploy w/a GoPro Action Camera witnessing the action. This should be a fun build!

Great question: KISS still rules . . . keep everything as simple as possible. I believe it to be especially relevant for the first certification flight (which mine was) to minimize the chance of failure.

Thanks for the complement! LOC/Precision seems to have great designs that are difficult to break - an important trait for cert flights!

Just a simple Level 1 with a first time visit to a club launch.
About 2.5 hours drive with my Apogee Peregrine. 38mm CTI 2 grain to keep things low and slow. Chose the Peregrine since I can use it for Level 2. Dual deployment with AIM USB altimeter. 917 feet and 147mph (if I did the math right)
