Seems to be a lot of focus on levels lately. Its almost meaningless. I’ve seen better builders without a level, than some L3 projects. I’ve seen more complex L1s than L2, the list goes on. The system in place serves its purpose. I don’t think we need a new one. But...

I can never wait until I have these things in hand to start a thread... here we go. It's been a long summer, life is crazy. The wife suggested I get a new kit to build and relax a bit. I've got a good number of bases covered with what I have. Not really anything out there I'm just dying to...

this is every APCP motor I've flown. Something like 80 flights..... and many rockets. https://dbmccann.wordpress.com/motors-fired/ While I've surely learned something on each one.... There are a ton of rockets..and a lot of overlap, and tons of time swapping parts prepping rockets, and it...

KPEKrixDaL0 Dude....did that thing do a 360 under thrust?

Great weather and I'll add some more photos in the regional sub later, but for now, just a few of my flights. All in the Optima. When I built this rocket...My second for AP, and my L1 build, I designed it to fly on an I200W. Many flights and years later, I had never actually done it...

Splitting off wild man's thread, this discussion came up. To be blunt- It's not required to scratch build, and anyone who says it should be is an elitist jerk. No. There is nothing wrong with building a kit for your L3. I'm in the process of building a Widman Extreme for mine. Don't like...
