Hi everyone, Can I use a G128T motor for a Level 1 certification attempt? You have to be at least level 1 certified to purchase this motor. Anyone?
Thanks, John

No.
Needs to be an H or I motor.

No high thrust G or F for certification flights.
The motor needs to be a H or I impulse and 160.1-640 Newton seconds total impulse, needs to be over 80 Newton seconds of average thrust but no Vmax propellant.

That's what I always thought. Why does a person have to be at least Level 1 to purchase it but it cant be used to certify?
I used to be Level 2 TRA, but because I was out for a ling time I lost my certification and have to start according to TRA.
Really I wanted to ask because I already have the 29mm 40/120 casing. The H single single use requires hazmat, and a RMS would require purchasing a new RMS motor casing. It looks like I will end up doing just that.

Did you also used to be level 2 NAR, by any chance? NAR certification is for life and does not expire just because you withdraw your membership. If so, you can get your level 2 back with NAR. Then, since NAR and TRA recognize each other’s certification, you can apply to TRA to be recognized level 2.
That way, no need to start over. But only if you used to have NAR certification.
One note on the HAZMAT is that it depends on what motor company you use. CTI is all HAZMAT and Aerotech is mostly outside of the smaller 24 and 29 stuff. If you want to order without hazmat, I’d suggest Loki motors. Easy to build (well easier than Aerotech), no HAZMAT from G-I with only two motors needing it, most motors are cheaper than Aerotech for the same size, and imo they have a better punch. Sparkies and high impulse midpower motors require a level 1 but you can’t use them to cert.
Look into Loki Reaserch . You will not be sorry .
